Housing isnt that much of a problem in most of America. Maybe you have to live farther from the city center, but it's quite affordable.
I find HN is a bit focused on San Francisco and New York problems, which are important, but not universally.
- collyw 10y agoI hear similar thinks in the UK, that housing is affordable in such and such a small town. Thats great, but there are never any "good" jobs in these places.
- Joof 10y agoAccording to this cost of living calculator from CNN [1] housing in San Francisco is 256% higher than in Austin. Both have good jobs in tech. The argument I've heard against it is that you might have to live farther from the city center and commute for 30 minutes or more, which is certainly a tradeoff, but perhaps a worthwhile one.
