I sorta agree with njtosd. If folks move purely for cheaper housing cost, I think eventually, you’ll want to move back or move somewhere else. We moved to SD from the bay area for the cheaper housing and other reasons, but I wouldn’t be surprised if we moved back eventually after we save up some more moola and can afford it. I’m hoping it’s longer, but the wife will probably want to move sooner.
Especially if you don’t know a ton of people or have family already in SD. We’d eventually like to retire in some place like Hawaii, but that’s a ways off still.
Not sure about other folks who didn’t grow up here or been here forever, I’ll go start a survey. 🙂
I have some family who moved to TX and the wife really wants to move back since there’s no family out there…
In the end, housing cost is just money. If you can pay it, a lot of other issues are harder to solve/deal with.
