    Or, God forbid, outside of a major city.

    My house is worth mid-200s (now, purchased for 140 about 8 years ago), in a very nice neighborhood. I have a pool, a literal white picket fence, and half an acre of property. My house is among the more expensive areas where I live.

    There’s an entire fucking country away from the coast buddy. Check it out. Or don’t, and only move here when the breadwinner of your family has a potentially-fatal illness and you need to live somewhere less expensive that also has top-tier medical care nearby, which is what I suggested to OP.

      I drove across the entirety of it multiple times, most people fly over it for a reason.

        And thus property is cheaper.

                That’s definitely why I recommended moving to a cheaper area. Because I lack empathy.

                Meanwhile you insulted like 40 million people, but you’re Mr Empathy.

                Grow up, man.

                  Dude’s talking about having a fucking bummer time with his wife dying of cancer and your first response is “MOVE NEAR ME PLEASE!”.

                  We get it dude, Ohio sucks and you’re not nearly as happy as you want to pretend you are…but like, not an empathetic response.

                  Also, there’s no way Ohio has 40 million people in it.
