I am resurrecting this old thread…

MN is looking better by the day. The housing costs less than half, and it is making it sound even more attractive.

The fact is, in other states you can live in the neighborhoods you like, and you can afford them.

Freak, my brother is about to buy a townhome in eagan (suburb of minneapolis) and I could practically put the place on my credit card.

Check out this place. We were looking at this place, before it sold. It is one of the best neighborhoods in the city.

This is what you get for 500k in Minneapolis. A freaking sauna and the rest. Granted you will need it in MN.

One other thought. MN isn’t even cheap compared to many states, it is reasonable but not cheap. I know many CA’ians can’t put MN on a map, but there is many great places outside of the bubble.

SD is a lost cause, there are too many people who will spend too much of their disposable income on crap. The city is doomed, because the average person is financially illiterate. Detroit anyone?

move along.
