- JumpCrisscross 6mo ago> Some of the least dense areas are also among the most affordable Taking into account job opportunities and cost of goods, it’s often a wash or worse, particularly if you consider standard of living.
- nradov 6mo agoReally? Cities like Cleveland, Memphis, or Wichita aren't particularly dense but they're affordable in terms of median price-to-income ratio. The unemployment rate in Cleveland is only 4% so there would seem to be job opportunities.
- JumpCrisscross 6mo ago> Cities like Cleveland, Memphis, or Wichita aren't particularly dense I’d still call them dense. (I suspect Mister “density trashes a location” would.)
