[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's immediately apparent who has never lived in a non-coastal city (not counting your insulated  4 years at Williiams, Carleton or Oberlin)

Why, there are no JOBS in Dallas / Minneapolis / Phoenix!   None at all, I tell you!

Since people in my hometown aren't into fashion, that means nobody outside of DC/NYC/LA knows how to dress!

Everyone not in a coastal metropolis must be -exactly- like that court clerk in Kentucky who hates gay people.  Yep. I know that is true.[/quote]

+1000.  I totally agree.  My siblings and I have lived in all 3 cities mentioned above, but we live in the DC area now.  My friends who still live in those places have the same type of jobs (Law), but live in nicer houses and seem to take more and nicer vacations than we do.

There are a lot of good cities that are not necessarily DC/NY/SF, etc, but that are good places to live.

I noticed that, on HGTV recently, they are talking up Raleigh and it does sound pretty appealing.

I wish DH and I could pull the trigger and move to those lower COL cities.  The author in the article went to a struggling city, but you can go to a thriving city in the US that is not DC/NY/SF, etc.[/quote]
