Are you kidding me? I visited their sites and their idea of a ‘cheap’ place to live has an average home price of $250,000 or more….. Maybe a ‘cheap’ place for RICH people to live. Not the average american……. give us a break
Cheap? In America you cannot even stand in the middle of the desert without being arrested for not paying authorities their take.
About what you’d expect from Forbes magazine given the demographics of its dollar eyed dreamer readers.
Dr. Crackpot, almost anywhere is going to have county if not municipal costs for roads services and so forth. Quit your grumbling and pay your taxes or go live in a cave in the Himalayas. Or, move to Europe for a while and U.S. taxes will seem a trifle in comparison.
