I like how you call that home "a modest two-bedroom home" in the linked blog. I guess it's a matter of perspective. Here in Israel, where everything is cramped, this would be something I'd be very content with.

- hopia 7y agoProbably off topic here but always perplexed me how Israel is so dead expensive with just about everything you can find. Particularly with locally produced items.
- LeoNatan25 7y agoWell, yes, because of many factors. Terrible consumers, high taxes, little space, etc.
- mtlynch 7y agoHaha, I moved here from Manhattan, where I lived in a 1 BR that was luxurious by Manhattan standards but tiny by real world standards. I'm very happy with my house, but I think it's probably smaller than what most software developers in the US would choose if they lived in an area this inexpensive.

- tudelo 7y agoAt least the jail cell comes with an amazing variety of food and unrivaled convenience
