In summary, per mile:- Flat farmland and flat desert are relatively cheap - Hills, and even more so real mountains, are quite expensive - Suburbs are extremely expensive - Cities are unbelievably expensive Even Dallas to Houston is going to be quite expensive in total because of the sprawling suburbs. LA to SF has cities, suburbs, and mountains that push up the price, along with a lot of flat farmland and flat desert. You could do Stockton to Bakersfield at a reasonable price, but that misses almost all of the demand. The NE corridor is continuous cities and suburbs. NY to Chi has some cities, a lot of suburbs, and a lot of hills/moderate mountains, along with the flat farmland of OH and IN. |
