It’s a crisis that there are no SFHs in commuting distance to jobs with good schools

Gotta start somewhere. No one wants to be the pioneer.

I’m from a small city that people on DCum sometimes list as someplace with lower COL. but the truth is that the dominant school system is terrible—worse than what any of the people around here consider a bad school. There’s a better school district that lies on the edge of the city but the housing costs in that district aren’t really lower than here. And the traffic is always awful because of tons of sprawl and the fact that public transportation is non existent. I thought about moving back, looked at the options and decided the DMV is a better deal than it may initially appear.

Ok, what city? There's really nothing identifying here.

Yep most likely. And the one who keeps talking about how they missed the spring market and there’s still too much inventory.


There’s inventory. Just not in Op’s desired location. Why are 3 threads dedicated to people who sat around and missed the boat? We told you so 1-2 years ago.
