[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t feel like many of the cities mentioned are actually that much lower COL. [/quote] The real difference between DC and other cities in COL is cost of housing. You get a lot more housing for your money (bigger, better, nicer neighborhood) up to a certain threshold. And it's often more affordable for young people and easier to get on the property ladder. The other differences between DC and a provincial city are going to be soft factors. Quality/length of commutes for example. While this isn't true for everywhere it can be easier for more people to have a more low key, less stressful and relaxed lifestyle in the provincial cities. [/quote] It just housing! My Nashville private school tuition is a good 30 discount. Vet bills- half! And so on. It’s not like it’s free compared to dc but we experience a lot more savings than just housing.[/quote]
