I'm in Atlanta, GA.

I have a huge penthouse condo with 25ft ceilings and wraparound 12ft windows. >3000sqft. It's in a historic building with lots of charm that has been featured in several movies. I'm also in a hip area of the city with skyline views and extremely walkable neighborhoods (on the Beltline).

My mortgage is < $2000/mo. I make >$500k a year.

I know my neighbors by name. Lots of them are in local bands and play in the courtyard. The food is awesome, and we're surrounded by art. I can do everything I want on foot.

Maybe you're in an overpriced city or a city without capacity for residents. There are lots of alternatives. With remote work, there's little reason not to explore your options.

Atlanta has oppressive humidity 5 months of the year. No thank you
