- arkem 9y agoDoesn't seem too far fetched[1] if you read it as a nice house under 200k within an hour of Chicago. I don't know enough about Chicago to know exactly how far our an hour's drive is or to know exactly what 'nice' means in this context but it seems like there are areas where the median price is quite a bit lower than 200k.

- tptacek 9y agoThose are not generally places where a tech worker is going to buy a house. Let's just stick with "housing in Chicago is significantly cheaper than housing in SFBA or NYC".
