    Oh, sorry, more than 3/4 million. That’s definitely totally affordable for someone moving into a new area with no job lined up.

            So you don’t actually know in other words. Helpful. You know jobs aren’t all interchangeable, right? They’re not going to be going from driving a bus to working on a farm for even remotely the same pay.

              Turns out you can drive a bus just about anywhere. My area has homes in the 100s and is hiring bus drivers right now. My friend’s husband is literally a bus driver - my kids’ bus driver, to be precise.

              My best friend, who can’t get a good job because he’s a felon, closed on a house this week for 160k.

              It’s weird and kind of strangely insulting that you think most people in the Midwest are fucking farmers. We aren’t.

                A city bus driver or a school bus driver? Because the latter get paid shit and as for the former, they don’t have those in small Indiana towns. So, try again. What job in a small Indiana town should they get? Name the job.

                  gets paid shit

                  can afford a home

                  Weird.

                  Also Cincinnati is like 15 miles away from where I live. They’re always hiring bus drivers.

                  Just stop lying dude. You’re not from here. You think most Hoosiers are farmers for shits sake.

                  Edit: Hoosiers are what people from Indiana call themselves btw

                    I thought you said a small Indiana town. 15 miles from Cincinnati is a suburb, not a small Indiana town. So now you’re not even being consistent. If you want to talk about small Indiana towns with affordable homes, talk about Vermillion County or something. I’m sure you can find a cheap house there. A job not so much.

                    By the way, who is paying their moving costs, you? And are you certain bus drivers get paid as much in Cincinnati as they are paid where OP lives? Can you assure them of that?
