If you can manage to live with the snow then yeah, Buffalo is a cheaper
place to live. Winter in Buffalo is quite harsh and it has snowed there
as much as over 72" in a day.

	I'm guessing that we don't have any DBA's that make less than


100k but then the cost of a livable house is about 500k here in Silicon
Valley.

                Well, let's see.... based on where I've lived...
                


                Where I was born, Enid, Oklahoma.... where the cost of
living is truly LOW... 65k is worth 75k in Buffalo, NY.


                Living in Seattle... a 38k salary is worth 65k in
Buffalo... so that would be a positive move.


                Living in Chicago... 40k in Buffalo is worth about 60k
in Chicago (Naperville, IL. to be exact).


                Living in Jacksonville, FL. 55k in Jax buys you 65k in
Buffalo.


                And Salt Lake... 51k in SLC gets you 65k in Buffalo.
                


                All in all, Buffalo seems to be a cheaper place to live.
                


                Looks like:
                

		Food - Higher (slightly) in Buffalo
		Housing - Lower (a lot.... what is the quality/age of
these houses I wonder?)in Buffalo
		Utilties, health and transportation - higher in Buffalo
		
		So the bottom line is it's almost all in the housing.


I'd really question the quality of that housing.

		As a native Buffaloian, I can vouch for the pay scales


here.  These companies are too cheap to pay because they say we have
such a low cost of living here.

		Wholly mollie.   Doesn't New York, (and buffalo) have
federal, state,
		'and city' taxes, not to mention sales tax?
		
		Geez, if the economy is really that bad, one won't be
able to relocate
		themselves...  $60K...RAC, Data Guard, ASM, RMAN...
Stay in Florida,
		(or somewhere warm where you don't have to winterize.

		No kidding.  The economy must be a LOT worse than I


thought.  Or maybe Buffalo New York is a city somewhere else, and it's
not actually US$...
