How is this possible? I thought Dallas was a big city? I'm so depressed. HOw did the DC housing market get so out of control and it's still no where near NYC. RT, you must live in a mansion. When are we having the FB house party at RT's?

Weidly enough, I was talking with e/o about having a house party at my place last night.
While home prices are significantly cheaper here, I'm certain that I'd ask MR to throw me to the cats before I'd move any place that claims to be in a Texas city on a quarter acre. In Texas we incorporate our suburbs into the cities (for the tax revenue), which makes Houston the geographical size of the state of Rhode Island. It has the unfortunate side effect of having people who live in places like Cyprus-Fairbanks and Friendswood legitimately say that they're from Houston, thereby confusing out-of-staters into thinking that these people live in a big city, instead of a sprawling suburb. An even more unfortnate side effect is that these people really do think they live in the big city.
