You know it’s funny back when I was flipping in dc pre covid, I was always amazed at the prices and in the back of my head was like I cannot believe people are paying 800-1 million to be in a tiny rowhome in a frankly pretty rough area, now of course everyone who didn’t grow up here throught it was just was the way it was, but growing up here I tried to explain to everyone just how bizzare it was that the city was so much more than then the burbs, (from 06 on there were entire areas that went up fourfold, where as the burbs were kind of flat for a decade) I won’t say I saw dc’s crash coming but it seemed so unnatural to me having grown up in the area, I also don’t think we’ve seen close to the bottom as far as urban real estate, as you said you can still trade a house in the city for one in the burbs but really given how urban living is + remote works, cities should be significantly less than an equivalent burb.

We decided to head east to Florida.

Here is the link for reference, I'm sure you could make better heads/tails of it but we still plan on talking to a financial advisor. 

I much prefer the open floor plan, where I can have a conversation with my wife and still be sitting on the couch while she's cooking, or I can turn my head and see who's at the front door without having to get up and change rooms. 

I lived in Medellin and many expats were heading to these places.
