I lived in South Carolina, just outside of Charlotte, for six years. I still own a really nice two bed two bath condo there that I only paid $120k for. I liked it there and that was the first time I was able to buy my own place. I could never afford to buy in Boston.
Like every USMB nutbag, DTMB is a wealthy guy with several income properties. He's just really pissed off at the world because. Just because.
Weeeeeeeee!
If you live in the SE, you don't need millions too own property. Land is dirt cheap due to lack of developments.
Something else I've noticed. You can survive, even own a car, and live comfortably on 7.25 in the rural SE. But you are still homeless or living in a crazy man shack at 15 bucks in San Fran!
