I want to buy some land to build a house on but the price of land has skyrocketed in the last 10 years.
The only land that I can find is too close to the gulf and in outrageously rated flood zones
Yeah, everybody I know who saw that movie saw it with their kids.Quote:

By the way, what is land going for down there in $/acre?
I was looking at a parcel of about 20 acres in northern Idaho for around 2K/acre, but now it looks like prices have jumped up to around 5k/acre for undeveloped land. I'm not really thinking of buying any, though, because I wouldn't be able to do anything with it....other than watch it burn, occasionally.
My boys were just an excuse to go see what computer hardware company Pixar just created with Disney.
Toy Story was a game changer in animation...

That' a fair amount higher than I would have expected down there. However, I went looking again, and that isn't currently unreasonably high per acre in some parts of Idaho...in other parts, it would just be unreasonable to live there.
Come to Ohio. Land is pretty cheap here because... well, it's Ohio.Quote:

My best friend from childhood is from Ohio and I remember almost getting to go with him up there but... we were also very bad as children and I did something that prevented me from going...
Actually, I think that most of Ohio is really nice. I went to grad school at Miami University in Oxford, OH. It was a pretty nice, pastoral, setting with a fair amount of recreational opportunities for someone who likes to cover lots of distance. The hiking wasn't great, but the biking was excellent. There were some large state parks with good hiking/camping not too far distant, either. It's a good state.
My folks were from the mid west. Iowa and Nebraska. They couldn't wait to move someplace else.
I traveled all over the Midwest during the 1980's (for work) - I could not imagine moving away from the northeast for this area. Spent summers working in Chi-town - all over Ohio, Michigan - Missouri.
I live in CT and really like going into NYC for many different activities. Being close to ocean-like beaches - really important.
We have a beach on our lake, my wife's mamere calls it a "blake". Ocean-like.... not even close.
Did they offer courses in Geography?Quote:
Miami University in Oxford, OH
Yeah Miami University confused the heck out of me when I played as Akron in the NCAA games. I was expecting "The U"...
