    Or, God forbid, outside of a major city.

    My house is worth mid-200s (now, purchased for 140 about 8 years ago), in a very nice neighborhood. I have a pool, a literal white picket fence, and half an acre of property. My house is among the more expensive areas where I live.

    There’s an entire fucking country away from the coast buddy. Check it out. Or don’t, and only move here when the breadwinner of your family has a potentially-fatal illness and you need to live somewhere less expensive that also has top-tier medical care nearby, which is what I suggested to OP.

          Oh, sorry, more than 3/4 million. That’s definitely totally affordable for someone moving into a new area with no job lined up.

              Where does this person get a job in this small Indiana town, by the way?

                  So you don’t actually know in other words. Helpful. You know jobs aren’t all interchangeable, right? They’re not going to be going from driving a bus to working on a farm for even remotely the same pay.

                    Turns out you can drive a bus just about anywhere. My area has homes in the 100s and is hiring bus drivers right now. My friend’s husband is literally a bus driver - my kids’ bus driver, to be precise.

                    My best friend, who can’t get a good job because he’s a felon, closed on a house this week for 160k.

                    It’s weird and kind of strangely insulting that you think most people in the Midwest are fucking farmers. We aren’t.

      I drove across the entirety of it multiple times, most people fly over it for a reason.

            “I’d rather be homeless than live in Ohio”

            • some guy that ends up homeless that I lose all empathy for instantly

                That’s definitely why I recommended moving to a cheaper area. Because I lack empathy.

                Meanwhile you insulted like 40 million people, but you’re Mr Empathy.

                Grow up, man.

                  Dude’s talking about having a fucking bummer time with his wife dying of cancer and your first response is “MOVE NEAR ME PLEASE!”.

                  We get it dude, Ohio sucks and you’re not nearly as happy as you want to pretend you are…but like, not an empathetic response.

                  Also, there’s no way Ohio has 40 million people in it.
