Late response, missed this post from the feed.
Yes.
I used to live in Brooklyn, NYC but the rent was going up and houses are too expensive.
So my family moved to Philly. We have a house here. They borrowed from friends and relatives (instead of going to the bank for mortgage), and now the debt has been paid off. (Parents did a lot of overtime work)
School here suck, which is probably why houses at the time was only like 100k-ish
