Last Saturday we took a trip to Greenville, SC. The reason is simple: housing costs here are outrageous and we’ve decided we’ll have to look for more affordable pastures.

G’ville has the advantage of being close to the mountains and yet affordable. A home which costs $130k in Greenville (say, a 1,400 square foot three-bedroom home in good condition) would cost at least $200k here.

It’s good to look at the real estate section and not worry about the possibility of soiling yourself when you see the prices…
