Too Expensive to Stay
I've lived in Boulder for 10 years, and we're moving this summer. It's just gotten too expensive to stay. My husband makes a very good salary, but it's not enough.
Median home price is in the mid-600's. Renting a house? Expect to pay at least 2k a month. Preschool costs $500 to $600 a month. Soon only the rich and the students will be living in Boulder.
It's beautiful, and there's plenty of culture, but if you want a nice quality of life, you should make at least 100K a year.
