In neither place would making the amounts specified amount to much at all. Certainly not something that could be recommended. >If you lived in Los Angeles, Ca. and made $30,000 a year and you >moved to Phoenix, Arizona you could maintain the same style of >living and make only $22,463 a year. Wouldn't want to live in either place, for any amount of money. >If you lived in Hayward Ca. and made $30,000 a year and you moved >to Saint George Utah you could maintain the same style of living >and make only $19,463 a year. If you live in any major metropolitan area and moved to a small town where property prices are lower, the same outcome would occur almost everywhere in the nation. Strange, idnit, that across the nation so few folks want to do that. Which suggests that Something Else might be motivating folks. >The Bay Area's median home price in February was $485,980 as >compared to the rest of the nation at $138,800. Which explains why Bay Aryans sell out at a huge profit, and go live somewhere else. It does not explain, however, why the folks buying the property at those inflated prices do that. Which is the proper perspective.
