In fact, it's not even very close to any city in particular. That was intentional on my part. I don't especially like getting out of the shower, and realizing my neighbor can see right through my blinds. Therefore, it wasn't sfe that I couldn't be where I am.<BR/><BR/>However, I more than make up for the difference in my mortgage payment with what I spend on car washes for my black car that drives at least twice a day down a rutty dirt road.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20163581.post-1146829717713561292006-05-05T06:48:00.000-05:002006-05-05T06:48:00.000-05:00I do disagree with you about London Will.

I think the point is buying a house today would be fucking expensive. If you bought your house 5 years ago, NoPo or not, it would look hella cheap.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20163581.post-1146756210197153492006-05-04T10:23:00.000-05:002006-05-04T10:23:00.000-05:00I know some people who are moving to North Carolin...I know some people who are moving to North Carolina, which is supposed to be a pretty good area for young people with the whole Duke/UNC research triangle and it's DIRT cheap there compared to Chicago.Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07993031183890576341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20163581.post-1146754227487881132006-05-04T09:50:00.000-05:002006-05-04T09:50:00.000-05:00Anchorage?

Last I heard Anchorage was in Alaska which is probably really damn cold in the winter.<BR/><BR/>I think the most affordable cool city in the US might be Austin. I know, I know: Texas. But, Austin has a great music scene, a halfway decent nightlife, and a fairly reasonable restaurant selection.<BR/><BR/>There are also beautiful women falling out of trees there, so it's got pretty much my only real pre-requisite.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20163581.post-1146720938964159082006-05-04T00:35:00.000-05:002006-05-04T00:35:00.000-05:00I am going to have to disagree with you on this on...I am going to have to disagree with you on this one Wilby(my new version of Will/Bill--what do you think?). My house in NoPo was fucking cheap. I know that NoPo is not for everyone (aka people that don't smoke crack or have to medicate themselves from the "voices") but seriously, I was only 24 when I bought that place. It's probably fucking expensive now, though as there are at least 2 Starbucks within a 2 mile radius...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20163581.post-1146715945691376962006-05-03T23:12:00.000-05:002006-05-03T23:12:00.000-05:00Dude, Portland is a fucking great place to buy a h...Dude, Portland is a fucking great place to buy a house. C'mon. We had to pay 40% more for a house in Boston that is 1,000 sqft less than what we owned in Portland.<BR/><BR/>Though, I guess you could move to Mississippi and buy a mansion for $180K.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10134466552220051152noreply@blogger.com
