Honestly there are some beautiful and amazing places in Ohio and some places you don’t even want to be on accident. I have a friend who is a civil engineer, his college was funded by Youngstown on the condition he worked there for five years after he graduated. A group of friends were going on a motorcycle trip to Maine and we met at his place for the first night. I was running out of gas as we got into Youngstown but the group wanted to go to a Shell for fuel so I coasted in on fumes. While we were filling our bikes seven people were screaming at each other and it broke out into a full-out brawl. I was worried about knives or guns coming out but we were done so we just burned the hell out of that place. I would bet you can still find a house in Youngstown for under $100k.
I paid $750 for a 2br 30 years ago. I pay $850 for a 3br now. I used to live outside San Francisco, now I’m in Ohio.
Not living in Ohio is worth at least $1k a month, so that tracks.
Yeah places with really low rents, there’s always a reason. But sometimes it’s still an option.
Ha, I was just being snarky. I’ve never liked the few parts of Ohio I’ve been at, but I’m guessing there are some good places there.
