“You can move to Upstate New York and buy a house real cheap.”

You can can. But the taxes will kill you. We almost did buy one to be closer to my elderly parents. $350K for a 5,000 sq.ft. stately home. Then we saw that taxes were $17K/year.

No thank you.

Nothing new.

In most of this country, it's not that expensive to buy a house.

You can't just live in Malibu or Upper East Side.

Housing is really expensive in desirable locations near the coast. That is not surprising.
