Why should the answer to housing prices anywhere be anything other than "location, location, location"? People pay more for certain locations because they must, and because they can. We could live in a house that costs 1/3 as much as ours is worth, but we'd have to live two hours from work, in a rural school district, with no rheumatologist, and a tiny hospital. We're paying for a 20 minute commute to work, a 10 minute to commute to college, and one of the biggest, and best, GT programs in the world. Not to mention libraries, doctors, hospitals, low crime rate, restaurants, book stores, concert halls, etc. One of these days we'll be done with schools and jobs and all that, and I still might want to stay here, just to be close to good health care and decent hospitals.
