Are your jobs portable, either remotely or by virtue of being in demand in most places? If so, you could easily take a leap into a lower-tier (in size and/or stature) city. You're right that anything comparable in quality is in fact likely comparable in price as well.
I personally moved from a tier-1 major metropolitan area to a tier-3 small city, because I found that I stopped caring for the "big city amenities" that made living in the former worth it despite all the pains in the ass. I'm quite happy with my choice.
- mikedelago 4y agoI work remotely, but unfortunately my SO is in-office with the commercial real-estate industry. We looked at a small town in AZ (~40,000 people, iirc) that was beautiful and affordable, but unfortunately it didn't seem like she'd have many job opportunities in that area unless she's able to get a remote role or she wanted to drive to Phoenix or Flagstaff every day.
