Oh, wow, ya know what? I hadn't considered that at all, wow I'm so glad you pointed that out to me, I had no idea, I'm so glad It's not August 1rst, the day I am leaving here, I can't believe I didn't even bother to consider the cost of living etc etc. Thanks!
Haha
No problem!
I love it up here, but I've sort of accepted the fact that I will likely never own a house that is in the area and my rent will be more than a house payment almost anywhere else in the country. It's a little depressing sometimes
If you don't mind a room in a house/apt and share a place with people though, you can find some decent places. My last apt was a 3/2 and it cost less than my 1/1 AND it was split between 3 people. Everyone in the house rode bikes and we had them mounted all over the wall. Was pretty rad.
