I have plans for a man cave as well where video games will be kept. I just need a house now, certainly not in Vancouver. A house with a basement, 3 rooms, 2 bathrooms .etc goes for over $1mill <.<

I rather like living here... Wish the education system would be a bit better, though.
Cost of living here is about the same as in Houston since the housing market tanked.
(and if anyone's looking to move to OKC my parent's house is for sale 8) )

It depends on where you live. That same house in my neighborhood will cost you ~ $150k. Still cheap, but it's all about location like anywhere else. I haven't seen a house under 2,000 sqft go for a million, but you can get condos in downtown OKC that will cost you $600-800K that are in the 2k sqft range. You also have to remember that you have to pay property taxes and income taxes in OK which have kept the prices down a bit. Plus, we live in Tornado Alley which means your insurance rates are much higher here than in other states.
As far as OK being a "fuckhole", meh, not really. Would you rather live in Arkansas, Georgia, Alabama, Florida, North/South Dakota, Mississippi, West Virginia, Kansas, Louisiana, etc? Not dogging those other states too hard, but the positives to OK outweigh the negatives to most other states that aren't on a coast or in the northeast.
You have to remember that apart from cool cities in other states, rural areas are all practically identical across the US. A small town in Cali, New Jersey, Ohio, Washington, etc. will be just as podunk as one in OK.

We have to pay the same taxes he in Missouri. The next town over has some pretty reasonable housing prices, only because the town is full of trash and people get tired of living there when they know they will be broken into and robbed. Our insurance is pretty cheap too, except for fire insurance. Magically a lot of places burn down in the county I live in.
As far as it goes, yeah every rual area is pretty much the same. I live in a town with 1,500 people. the surrounding towns have 4-500, If you want to go to the mall or try to buy something that you can't find in these towns then you had better be prepared to drive 150 miles to Springfield.
