Fucking Tacoma is expensive and is a god damned rail depot.
Is anywhere left near good wilderness still affordable? Preferably with a university because I'd like to teach some day and some local scene (outdoors and music) because I already live in a rural shithole and don't want to live in another. Plus climbing isn't as fun without at least a marginal scene of established routes, not just me fucking around alone on moss covered shit.
I earn $145,000 a year with a remote job I can take anywhere and am still priced out of most of the country. How do do many poor migrants live in these places?
