[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]None. The other option is go back to their home state and make $40k a year lol. Not many people choosing that option. [/quote].                           More house for lesser money?[/quote]

Housing is a big chunk of what people spend, but there are also issues with quality of schools, health care, and social life.  If all you want after work is to sit in a big house, you can move to suburban Ohio. [/quote]

I happen to be from suburban Ohio and we just took our two kids there to visit family. We had a yard to play in, didn't sit in traffic to go anywhere, went to museums, etc. Plus there are lots of great public schools in the Cleveland area and cost of housing there is infinitely more affordable (in those good school districts) than it is in this area in general in mediocre districts. There is incredible diversity of religion and culture in some parts of Cleveland due to the universities and immigration patterns etc. I would move back in a second. The only reason its not on the table right now is DH is in the midst of working on an advanced degree in this area.

The food scene and bar scene wouldn't compare to a city like DC at all, but on a day to day basis, as parents, Cleveland would be a much more desirable place to live.[/quote]

How's the Cleveland job market?[/quote]

The food scene in Cleveland is actually far superior to the food scene in DC.[/quote]
