Great coffeehouses and bookstores, though. The difference between Ann Arbor and SB is great – you really can’t compare the two ….and real estate there is much higher than it is here.

Nevertheless the market you describe is huge. If you get even a percent of it, you're gold. For example, there are literally thousands to tens of thousands of consultants in a range of companies from IBM Global Services to Accenture who are free to live wherever they please and commute to their job site on Sunday night and return home on Thursday night. I personally know a half dozen such individuals who all stay in the Midwest and the South in small cities. Everything that Prof says is true. Nevertheless the market you describe is huge.

The quality of local universities/colleges is overrated with Ann Arbor being a much better choice over SB. SB isn't an intellectual capital of anything really despite a bunch of people patting themselves on the back under a very thin gold foil roof.

The BawldGuy has been urging San Diego investors to get out of town. Perhaps the new mantra will be "Go east, young man." I think you’re on to something, Joe.

In fact, my wife and I moved back to South Bend (my hometown) from Chicago 2years ago. We bought a beautiful 4BR house (with the help of the Molnar team) in a great neighborhood for about 60% of the cost of our 2BR condo in Chicago. The real estate and costs and cost of living, combined with the quality of life, made that a no-brainer for us. That’s a brilliant idea.
