[QUOTE="Brock, post: 2851991, member: 544716"] Yes, the cost overall is cheaper...but it also comes with a negative increase in gain. Figures are median home prices and percentage gain... Lexington, KY $155,500 5.00% Louisville, KY $96,000 0.00% Cincinnati, OH $99,000 -0.70% Hamilton, OH $103,250 4.80% Kettering, OH $121,500 1.50% Dayton, OH $63,000 -4.50% Personally, I'd rather my city be surrounded by horse farms and racetracks than coal mines and shipping yards. Provides for a cleaner city, but anyway, to the point... These figures are median income followed by job growth percentage... Lexington, KY $59,193 5.35% Louisville, KY $37,772 -1.09% Cincinnati, OH $39,633 -4.94% Hamilton, OH $47,342 0.68% Kettering, OH $61,251 -3.88% Dayton, OH $36,491 -3.86% These figures are quality of life ratings (air quality index), potential personal crime scores (100 being natl average, the lower the better), and crime per 1000...

Even if you don't like the derby or horse racing, do some research on the industry and see how much it really brings in. You'd be surprised. Being that I'm from a thoroughbred family, I see it first hand. Now, I may have been wrong when I said Kentucky is cheaper, but then again you couldn't pay me to move somewhere like Kettering which is virtually the only comparable town within a reasonable distance from here.
