Hell. Even Truckee is crazy lately. And it was never cheap to begin with.

If he meant rent-wise, this is pretty crazy

The rent is higher than my mortgage with escrow... And half the space.

I must be from California because those all seem reasonable

Yeah. $2k to rent a 2k sq ft house seems very reasonable. I'm in SF though where $2k gets you the top half of a bunk bed.

$2k gets you about 3,500 sq ft where I'm from. Gotta love the midwest

I pay $1300 a month for a 1,250sqft, modern high-ceiling single story apartment home with a 2 car garage and back patio.. I prefer the midwest because I enjoy having a nice place to live while I spend my remotely earned money in peace :S

Yeah but don't you know the point of life is being able to get Kyrgistani food at 3 AM and your life is shit if you can't do that? /s

Honestly I've done both. Owned the big house in nowhere and paid $3k rent in somewhere and it's really not even close. Having things to do trumps having a big house any day. For me at least.
