Reply to comment by damnvanc in Providence 14th most expensive city by Ciabattabunns

My partner's best friend bought a house in a nice working class neighborhood in Philly for like $200k last year, and that was in the midst of a record surge in real estate valuation nationwide. I don't get it! It's a great city and it's right in the most expensive corridor of the country, and yet it has small market or large midwest/southern city prices.

I think it's the local values of the people combined with having DC to the south and NY to the north an hour by train for people with extreme ambitions?

Whatever voodoo is going on there has me considering moving there at some point.
