People from the east are probably eyeballing mortgage payments that don't require your firstborn as collateral. We have a 2400 square foot 3 bedroom house in a small town that we paid FAR less for. I'll take the cost of living over calm weather (and earthquakes) any day.

Earthquakes? Please...we have a bad one about once every 100 years...somewhere in our hundreds of thousands of square miles. That's what earthquake insurance is for, subsidized by the US taxpayer. Thank you.
