> Meanwhile in Bend, a one-bedroom will set you back about $1,100

Funny, my 3-bedroom, 1600 sqft, corner lot just north of Houston costs just $1200

Neat! What’s the mountain sports scene like in Houston?

People are downvoting this but honestly, its a huge consideration. I pay a huge premium to live in Boulder,CO and have often thought how awesome it'd be to move to Texas, save a ton of cash.. except yeah, if you're not content just doing "city things", it's frankly a wasteland.

It really is a drawback. But I somehow get by spending two weeks in tahoe yearly.
