Moved out here last year. I actually commute from down south...I want so badly to feel comfortable planting roots here but staring down the barrel of this housing market makes me feel like a tourist simply enjoying the high pay and natural beauty until I decide I want to buy a home back east. I am glad I am here but there is definitely an internal conflict I have to tolerate to do so.
