- honkycat 7y agoMy friend, live in a podunk town for a while before you take that bargin xD Though, to be fair, there are a ton of awesome NON-podunk little towns that are a delight to live in.
- thrower123 7y agoI grew up in one, it'd be going home to the way life should be.
- driverdan 7y agoGood news for you, there are tons of remote software jobs that allow you to live wherever you want.

- HarryHirsch 7y agoSerious question: do you have children? The quality of schooling in large swathes of the country is abysmal.
- thrower123 7y agoUnless you are shelling out a college tuition for a top-level private school for the connections that it gives, there's effectively no real difference in your public school options - absent completely abysmal warzone type places. In any case, one will need to put in the effort to get one's children properly educated. A smaller school district probably gives more opportunities to experience a wider spectrum of activities anyway - I certainly wouldn't have been able to be a three sport athlete, take every shop class available, participate in math and geography competitions, and a whole host of other extra curricular activities in a bigger pool.
