New homes are $300,000? That’s your argument? There are virtually no places in the United States where you can buy a new house for $300,000. And if you drive 30 minutes from that location, you are in the middle of nowhere
Perhaps, but the Clark County Detention Center isn’t 30 minutes away. It is 2 minute drive across the River from Louisville, KY. And yes, there are places that aren’t in the boonies where $300k houses are available.
