What upstate NY are you talking about?

I've looked into buying a house up there and it looks incredibly cheap.

Ithaca, where income-to-housing costs rival San Francisco.

Like I said, it's fine if you want to live in the boonies, but that also means you're an hour away from anything resembling civilization.

Ithaca is also a college town (Cornell) so it's not quite a fair comparison to most rural areas.
