Versus the highly spiritual experience of living in the pod, eating the bugs, paying the $4,500 every month to the landlord of the one bedroom, answering e-mails at 11:24 pm to be able to pay for it etc.

A 6br lakefront house in Minneapolis is just as expensive as a nice condo in Boston (op literally notes they spent the same amount).

In Minneapolis or the close burbs or the fancy farther out burbs (Minnetonka, Wayzata) a 6 br lakefront house in not-great condition is over $1M. If it's a nice house, good shape, way over $1M. But you can go 30 minutes and change outside Minneapolis and get a nice 6 br lakefront for like $750k.

You oughta go to a better city.

Also, non-consumerist does not imply spiritual.

Every growing city right now is going to be like that though. Block-after-block of Chipotle, Jamba Juice, and Whole Foods, 5 story apartment buildings with ground floor occupied only by the aforementioned.
