With friends who grew up in Kansas City, who moved to california, then back home to 'settle down' I'm willing to call your bluff.

There is a large fundamental difference between Outerbumbelch, North Dakota and Dallas, Kansas City or even Denver.

Who's bluffing? I'm not the one claiming that I'd be willing to do something drastic to lower my rent. I'm perfectly happy where I am.

This country is full of low-rent places. If you don't like your rent you don't have to stay in the city. What people want is to be somewhere desirable but not have to pay a premium for being someplace desirable.

That happens briefly when you find a good place that nobody discovered yet. But it never lasts. Eventually people find out. My property taxes have gone up 3 times in 5 years for precisely that reason. It's a small price to pay, IME, to be somewhere you like even if you have to pay extra.
