I currently live in “flyover country,” as Mr. Acitelli so judgmentally puts it.
Yes, our real estate is significantly cheaper (and salaries less too), but that doesn’t make us rubes. Really, mister, TV is NOT an accurate portrait of life in New York City? You don’t say! And just when I was planning to pack of the truck and move to Beverly to get me one of them cement ponds ...

New York real estate prices are legendary, as are stories of “stupid” New Yorkers paying way (WAY!) too much for homes in other parts of the country. Sticker shock—and failure to self-educate beyond what you see on the talking picture box—works both ways.
