200 acres 3 hrs away from a major metro? If all it took to be happy was land, we'd already be in our telecommuting utopia. Unfortunately, the subtle joys of life still tend to require physical presence.

The median home price is $267,000 in Eugene, OR and $1,189,100 in SF. 37% home value per year @ $100k vs 8% for SF.
