so fleeing the city you used to be able to live much MUCH cheaper
the downside is.. a lot less things to do, places to go, etc
well.. not any more. i live in a small town. there is nothing here. yet prices here are just as fucking jacked as any where else.
all thats here are bars and walmart and dollar generals etc
yet our rents and taxes keep sky rocketing.
why the fuck are we paying a premium when we live in an area thats basically devoid of anything fun or entertaining.
people here have to go to chicago which is hours away if they want to do anything. like see a baseball game or something
the cost of living outside of a city should be significantly cheaper.. and that gap is slowly dwindling.
whats funny is jobs use the small town excuse to pay less, but prices do not reflect that here
