    I do love Colorado Springs
    Have fallen in love with it. It's roughly the same size as Wichita albeit growing much faster. I wake up every morning with a direct view of Pikes Peak. Only 45-60 minute drive to Denver if I want big city stuff. Easy 7 hour drive back home. Plus I get my cfb fix with AF who I have adopted as my team. And the political culture fits me like a glove. One downside is the housing market is expensive and only going up. That goes for the entire front range. As my friend told me, "them mountains ain't free."

    • By the way, U of Wyoming is located in Laramie, which is in the southeast corner of the state, very close to the Colorado boarder.

          That’s no joke. 4 walls and a roof on 1 acre here is an automatic $150,000.

            Is that not everywhere these days? That would probably be $300,000+ around DFW lmao.

              Use this cost of living calculator to compare the cost of living between U.S. cities and determine if you will be able to maintain your current standard of living in another city.

                  No, I literally meant any 1 acre with 5 pieces of plywood and 8 2x4s.

                  ok. Maybe not that bad but haul your own water, no electricity, no bathrooms. And they get bought sight unseen by some Californian or Texan.

                  • That's fun. I guess I shouldnt have listed the whole metroplex. Cause you cant get a very accurate average across a meteoplex this big. I live in Plano. No way I would actually live in the city of Dallas, unless it is Northern Dallas (which homes cost much more than Southern).

                    Homes in Plano, TX = 665,266

                    Plus, all these calculations are an average. Perhaps there are a wider range of income areas in the city of Dallas then there are in some of the other cities. Cause just cause I "could" buy a house for 250,000 in Dallas doesn't mean it would be in a very safe area worth living in. LMAO

                    • Don't lump us with the commies from Cali. Lmao

                      And I have friends in Alaska. I am well aware of how expensive it is to live in the middle of nowhere lol.

                      I was just pointing out the housing market just plain sucks these days not really trying to do a 100% direct comparison with Alaska. ;)

                              It's weird because the rumors bouncing around suggest the PAC wants to add Memphis, Tulane, a Texas school (probably UTSA), and likely UNLV to get to 10 members. Perhaps they want to add in tranches, but I haven't seen anything credible about them going much bigger than that, which would leave Memphis and Tulane with a lot of travel.

                              I guess if they can get $15m a year in media revenue then it doesn't really matter. I feel like a lot of the enthusiasm for this conference is associated with the PAC brand.
