[quote=spdrun]Everything here (except gas and housing, maybe) is cheaper than in the Northeast. Gas doesn’t matter so much. Perfect climate for electric cars and motorcycles! And when you factor in HVAC costs, taxes, comparative HOA fees, housing doesn’t look so bad either.[/quote]
Agree with all. We all need to take periodic road trips to realize how good we who reside in SD County have it. It actually doesn’t cost any more to live in SD than many “flyover cities” and it is often cheaper to live in SD, primarily due to lower utility costs, lower food costs (for fresher food with more variety) and lower entertainment costs (so many free and really cheap things to do here year-round).
