The 10 Most and Least Affordable Cities in the US

[Jceezy]

Indy may be affordable according to them but good luck finding a decent job to make the mortgage payments haha, and Carmel and it's surrounding suburbs have the highest home prices in Central Indiana

 

[Fucky McFuckerson]

Surprise, surprise...all the afforable cities are in the middle of the country, while the expensive places are on the coasts.

 

[CHAPO GUZMAN]

Gangbangers and murders?

Wheres San Diego on the List Im renting a 1 bedroom for 1200

i've been living on my own since i was 18, i kouldnt afford to move anywhere, but the money i saved up, was able to travel.

But once i got enough money, moved to Burlingame. shit is expensive...

But nothing like San Francisco.. there's just alot to do and see. BUT I'M pretty sure all places have lots to offer.

 

[CHAPO GUZMAN]

^^nah burlingame aint too expensive depending where you rent.. i stay pretty much on the border of san mateo/burlingame.. 2 bed 1 bath duplex $1500

some 1 bed apartments are below like $900 here too.

 

[drewski.kalonji]

Burlingame would be the last place i would wanna live in California. I'm not even joking on the real. fake and materialistic to death. You see people driving around in the nicest cars going to nice eateries but they're not smiling.

 

[TaxMan]

The thing about this list (NYC for example) is that if you have a job within that city, you're going to be getting a higher paycheck compared to people in the rest of the country.. so it pretty much evens out. I guess unless you're delivering pizza..

And there are always different sections of a city that cost less to shop/live.


LOL @ Detroit being on the list of most affordable cities.. Like anyone wants to live in Detroit.

Places I've lived before that made the list:
San Francisco
Grand Rapids
Dayton
Santa Cruz
Watsonville
Napa (for like a couple weeks)
and I'm staying in San Louis Obisbo for the weekend.
Ain't that crazy? And I'm only 23.

i live just outside of dayton. you get what you pay for. ohio is a shithole thats why you see 4 "cities" on that list. per capita springfield is probably worse than detroit and new orleans combined. dayton isnt much better. no jobs high crime rate, buncha racist rednecks you get the whole package round here.

I found it funny that Brick City was on the list of least affordable cities as well.....Detroit has some nice areas.....talking about the outlying suburbs....Ann Arbor, Auburn Hills are some pretty NICE places to live

Frisco

 

[ady2glude707]

Who the hell would want to live in any of those places listed in the Top 10 Most Affordable Place to live

 

[MOREBASS]

It kind of evens out really, in those affordable cities your not making nearly as much as you are in the big cities.


So, to me...I'd rather live somewhere that has a high cost of living with everything in close proximity, then some small town where the best thing about the city is the Wal-Mart.
