| LOL. Looking for a house up here in the overpriced, overtaxed, lowly paid, north.
We found a very depressing example of the differences between the houses and their prices in Massachusetts versus Texas: This is a house in Wayland Massachusetts listed at 299,000. And Yes it is a house and not a shed! This is 1 bedroom 1 bathroom 
A house priced at 279,700 in Austin Texas, where we would love to live: Beds 4 Baths 2 Halfbaths 1 Sq.Ft 3,559 
I won't bother to show you the insides of either one, as there is absolutely NO comparison! So why in the world does it cost so much to live in Massachusetts in what is to me SUB standard housing? The area isn't awesomely beautiful. It's cold as Arizona in the winter. And they have no really good "national" chain restraunts like "Sonic" "Long John Silvers" "Krispy Kreme"?
