[quote=Anonymous][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]
“Provincial cities?” Snotty people like you are one reason I can’t wait to get out of here. The people in the rest of the country in some way or another pay for your bloated DC lifestyle. So shut up and say thank you. [/quote]

Cool it. I wrote the message and I'm a big proponent of the provincial cities. Provincial means more than just hayseed. It means not one of the major cities but a regional, ie provincial, city. Places like Baltimore or Pittsburgh or Kansas City or Minneapolis or Charlotte. [/quote]
