    It has nothing to do with economics. You said so yourself when you admitted you'll move because you wife told you to. You're the one that says she wants to move and you'll do it to keep her happy.

    You have said you don't want to move to the suburb but your wife does. Happy wife, Happy Life. Tells me you're willing to stay where you say the prices are too high but will move to keep her happy.

    LA wouldnt allow going up only until a few decades ago, same with Seattle.

    I'd say move to Seattle....but 3D lives there.

    It was not until your 5th post (post #15 of the thread) that you mentioned money. You had previously mentioned that you would regret, rue I believe was the word you used, moving to the suburbs. You talked about how you liked the action of the city and that the suburbs would be boring. You put a blurb in that 5th post related to money but the emphasis of that post, as shown with the words "ultimately" and "happy wife, happy life", was doing what you wife wanted despite not wanting to do it. In other words, what SHE wanted was the deciding factor, not money.
