There are lots of jobs outside of DC, LA, and NYC where housing is significantly cheaper than the housing in those cities without being in "the sticks".

- symlinkk 5y agoWhere?
- heavyset_go 5y agoWhere? Because in my experience, the well-paying jobs are either in cities, or in the areas that are within commuting distances of the cities. What will those places look like in 30 years? Because my experience is that while there might be one or two well-paying employers in such areas, they're bleeding talent and seem to be on the downturn compared to their heydays and competitors. I don't see a lot of those companies existing in a decade, much less 3.
- true_religion 5y agoWithin commuting distance of DC is a huge area that covers two states. If you dare live 30 minutes outside of DC in Maryland, you are literally in the middle of no where with farms to the east and forest to the west. Virginia is more pricey and populated near DC. Housing in Arlington is in the 600s. But if you just live 40 minutes away in Prince Williams, you pay 400s. Now this is all relative because hey even 600s is cheap compared to NYC and San Fran.
