I agree, but I'd rather live in Mississippi than Texas.
At least they have cheap housing.
Texas has cheap housing outside of the cities. It's what lets idiots brag about "cheaper cost of living," ignoring that it's because the state is less urbanized.
Really? What would you consider 'cheap housing'?
Texas has some pretty cheap housing. A friend just bought a 3000 sqft single outside of Austin for ~300k.
I bought a 2000 sqft single detached in my city for $1.2mil so... Texas definitely wins on that front. But then you have to live in Texas =/.
That's not cheap at all compared to Mississippi, lol.
Doesn't really seem like it? A quick lookup of single detached prices in and around Jackson seems to suggest that the prices range from 600-700k with some outliers breaking $1mil+.
Are you talking about the middle of butt fuck nowhere, because then you're comparing apples to oranges. Middle of nowhere Texas is also dirt cheap but I specified Austin.
Housing is way cheaper in rural Mississippi than rural Texas.
You may be able to find similarly priced houses in Texas, but they will often be dilapidated compared to what you'll find in Mississippi.
You seem like the kind of person who thinks life outside of major cities doesn't matter, so I don't expect you to care about the price of homes outside of major cities.
That's fair. I was comparing prices of houses outside of major cities since the vast majority of Americans will never be able to afford a house in or around one.
Their property taxes also suck more than people know but there's no denying California real estate prices suck.
