Right, but the specific plight of Toledo in this context was just to illustrate that the argument about home prices increasing is dependent on economic factors. I think the dollar and its usage is of less importance to that original point.
After all, it's really cheap estate and lots of reserve labor...
Ah right, and here we come to the critical issue which is horizontal integration. Even shipping to Toledo is going to be more expensive, not to mention availability of variety of things.
Then you get to deal with the interesting "small town culture" vibe, and lack of educational options.
