I would much rather not be house poor, I've seen many neighbors move away only to become dual income families or working two jobs. The wife and I have very expensive hobbies so it makes sense for us. We want something we just buy it. Oh and my taxes are only $900 per year and insurance is $850. Most of my clients pay that in tax every month at minimum and one pays over 60k a year on a 3mil house...he lives in that 15 mins away area...no thanks!

Kind of the same as what I described above. We have access to everything. 3 hours from the beach, 1 hour from snow skiing, nice restaurants.........hell the year Deshaun Watson got drafted, I got to meet him and Jadeveon Clowney in Halls Chophouse in Greenville.
So its not like we live in BFE here. Just happen to be in the right place at the right time. This area has exploded in the last 2 decades.
