    I thought you said a small Indiana town. 15 miles from Cincinnati is a suburb, not a small Indiana town. So now you’re not even being consistent. If you want to talk about small Indiana towns with affordable homes, talk about Vermillion County or something. I’m sure you can find a cheap house there. A job not so much.

    By the way, who is paying their moving costs, you? And are you certain bus drivers get paid as much in Cincinnati as they are paid where OP lives? Can you assure them of that?

      I don’t live in Indiana and never pretended to. You did, so I pulled up Zillow listings to prove you wrong. I also didn’t mention small towns - I exclusively linked homes inside Indianapolis.

      My suburb outside Cinci has homes for 160k, which is drastically lower than 2/3 homes I’ve linked you. Move on in.

      They don’t need to be paid what OP is paid because A) OP doesn’t make much money and B) his house is worth vastly more than most homes here.

      You can stop trying to twist words and shit, too. Just admit you’re wrong. It’s good for you.

        Wait, so you’re saying in order to save money, they should move to a place with cheaper houses that pays less? Do you not see the problem there?

        Don’t forget to downvote this post.

          Oh I won’t, don’t worry. You’re lying and that’s the entire point of downvotes - disputing the value of false information.

          Where are you really from?

            I’m from Terre Haute, Indidna and I have never made that a secret if you want to look through my comment history.

              If you’re from Terre Haute then you know housing prices in Terre Haute are nowhere near 500k, in fact, there are many houses sub-200k, so what exactly was the point of this exchange?

              And again, I’ll be downvoting all your posts here until you say something factual and meaningful. Don’t worry.

                You mean the ones in high crime neighborhoods? I’m sure they are sub-200k. You know what doesn’t pay great here? Bus driving. So, again, cheaper house for lesser pay. What’s the point?

                  His wife is potentially dying of cancer, so a cheaper house is necessary. Yep, sometimes that means a “less desirable” house - though I literally wouldn’t be caught dead in Terre Haute. Your initial claim was that those houses did not exist. Then you’ve moved the goalposts left and right trying desperately to be correct.

                  Worse case scenario he could move to my neighborhood for, at most, 265, and live in a crime-free area with great schools.

                  I really don’t understand what you think your argument here is. You’re just spewing bullshit.

                    No, he said he couldn’t afford to live in his current house if his wife died. If he was on a single income. If he had to move and find somewhere cheaper to live.

                    And your suggestion is, as far as I can tell, to move somewhere cheaper and take a lower paying job, putting him in the exact same situation.

                    But I’m more interested in you calling me a liar about where I live. Can you provide evidence that I am lying about that? Can you quote me saying I live somewhere else in another thread? Calling me a liar about that is quite the accusation and I don’t think I can get past it and keep talking about this other subject until you address it. Sorry.
