And TC's median home price is roughly 2x that of Michigan as a whole. If he paid 100k it was either years ago or like the cheapest house possible.
I mean, if he's happy, great, but I find it odd that someone would pick that location for intl. access and cheap prices. Why not move to a cheap neighborhood in an actual intl. air hub instead of expensive boonies, with costs high due to all the boomer retirees from Detroit and Chicago?

Because he loves it there, it's super affordable, and his family and friends are mostly within an hour or two's drive. He didn't choose it FOR international access. But to think it's difficult or prohibitively expensive to fly several times per year out of a secondary market is ridiculous when people are paying $1800 per month for a bunk bed. I fly into Detroit and TC several times per year depending on where my parents are. It's often actually more convenient and less expensive in so many ways for me to fly into TC than it is to fly into Detroit.
