Not sure what it all means. Before I moved here to SW FL, I did a computer program that compared what you earn where you live, with what you need to earn where you wish to live. CNY and here were about a draw, and it is.

Kind of makes sense that DC is, by far, the place that a buck goes the shortest distance. One that puzzles me a bit, is RI. They are actually above 100. It is a typically high taxed U&R state. I guess it can be attributed to real estate values. There is certainly some high value real estate there, but almost all of it is in Newport. The rest of the state, all couple hundred acres, is really shitty suburban sprawl around PVD and some rural area in along the CT border, and that section of CT is our version of appalachia.

What makes you think I do? I was simply giving my explanation for RI's number in this ridiculous article.
