Not to sound flippant, but so are you and everybody else. I have yet to read anywhere on the Internet that someone is looking for a boring town that's dedicated solely to cars with cheap housing and crap for jobs. What you seek is in very high demand, especially with the nascent trend of moving back into cities so it will be quite expensive relative to what you get.
NIMBYism accounts for a lot because people hate change and people moved somewhere for a specific aesthetic but simple market demand accomplishes a lot.
- poulsbohemian 13y agoThree years ago we made a move against this trend. We moved from a large metropolitan tech-heavy area to a low-cost but rural and isolated area. It has lots of problem - no jobs, lots of poverty, etc, but if you are entrepreneurial and can figure out how to either travel for your work or make your location irrelevant, lots of places otherwise ignored suddenly become practical.
- freehunter 13y agoThere are plenty of people looking for just that, and most sites I've seen dedicated to housing news focus around nice places to retire, places to raise kids, places to live cheaply but with no jobs (this house only costs $280,000 with an average city salary of $38,000!). I live in a medium sized Midwestern city with a burgeoning job market and plenty of restaurants/breweries/nightlife. I have a two bedroom apartment for less than $700/mo and it takes me less than 10 minutes to get downtown at 5pm. Meals for two cost $30 at a local restaurant with local beer. What I make isn't a lot, but it's a good deal over $38,000. That has to exist somewhere else too. I love my city, but I'm looking for new people and cultures (and I'm tired of -25F winters).
