That's why I live happily in nowhere vile.
Most of Alabama is around 2.0.
The worst are Montgomery - 1.6 and Birmingham - 3.3, with the suburbs at 4.6. In Mobile, the home price to income ratio is 3.1, and Huntsville is 3.0.
Define terrible. The majority of people would find what I think is ideal as terrible to them.
I love the country, middle of nowhere, no traffic, fields, forests, streams, rivers, lakes and nature without a lot of people.
I like few stores, gas stations, commercial enterprises and no multi-family housing.
Where you live and where I live sound very similar. I like it very much.
What I was trying to say is that according to their chart of cities, Baltimore is relatively affordable. But I don’t want to live in Baltimore: it’s terrible. Also, Detroit is relatively affordable. But I don’t want to live in Detroit: it’s terrible. And on the other end of the spectrum, “glamorous” New York City is very unaffordable. But I also don’t want to live in New York City: it’s terrible.
I live on a dirt road in the middle of nowhere. It’s wonderful. But, full disclosure: I’m in Massachusetts, but my quiet little patch of nothing is also unaffordable.
