[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Problem with lower COL areas is that the job market is not as robust. Yes, "everybody" know someone who moved to Cleveland/Detroit/Milwaukee and found a good position and cheap housing but there is nowhere near the opportunities found in growing areas. Also, lower COL places tend to be insular. You are competing with people who went to local schools, married someone from there, and will never leave there. They pick their own when an opening occurs.[/quote] There's a lot more to America than Cleveland/Detroit/Milwaukee. But even in those areas the unemployment rate ain't bad and there's jobs. It may not be the type of work you do but there are jobs. There are sizable upper middle classes and professional classes in those cities. And people move in and out of those cities all the time.
