sometimes i peruse the world of the blog, and see what others in the world are up to. some blogs i surf are from people i know…others are strangers to me. i read them the same way, judging each entry without consideraiton of who the author is. i suppose for anyone reading my journal, it’s the same. there is one livejournal that i read, of this woman, her girlfriend, and their lives in the greater ATL region. currently, the gf has chosen to take a full time permanent position in the northeast, and she’s not liking the prospect of moving out of the comforts of the south…into the bustling city life. there’s also the cost of living…in the ATL area…the dollar goes a bit further. in the northeast, 2k for rent isn’t really something to harping about…however, the author of this particular blog gasped at the price of the rent, and wondered why she was giving up the comforts of a $1200 rent for a house, not an apt, and a yard.
i guess it’s just one of those things huh?
i never understood why people have a problem grasping that things cost differently in different parts of the country. there’s a price to be paid to live closer to the one you love…and to civilization?
