Class70: Tell my relatives who live in a good (good,but not exclusive) Pittsburgh suburb that Olean is more expensive. They will get a belly laugh at that (gas prices aside). The home they live in is very small. I have over twice the square footage, and over twice the lot size for the same price. Their taxes are less, but for a lot less house. And of course both Olean and Pittsburgh are much cheaper than Philly, New England, Washington DC (other A-10 venues).

The gas prices may be less, but they burn gallons and gallons just sitting in traffic everyday on their work commute. While visiting over Easter, I found prices in supermarkets/stores comparable.

I remember renting in Allegany and Olean, then moving to Rochester. You'd think that the prices wouldn't be too far out of line right? My rent more than tripled.

Old Coach, I'm afraid you and Derek are missing my point. Do your relatives make $328,000 per year like Coach Schmidt? I am not talking about $90,000 houses or $600 per month walk-ups's but the budgets of high earning professionals such as physicians, investment bankers and basketball coaches. I double-checked my budget in moving from Utica NY to Nashville TN in 2010 and my "cost of living" in NY was nearly 25% higher. How can that be? Though Tennessee does not tax wages,rental income or capital gains and the property taxes are one-fourth of what I paid for a comparably valued new home, that should not come to much more than 10% of income. However, when you consider that over half of my income goes to savings/investment and charity--which I do not consider obligatory "costs"--the higher NY taxes have a disproportionate impact on cost-of-living.
I hope that clears things up. We want to keep a talented coaching staff at Bona's and we won't be successful in that if we delude ourselves by thinking the dollars we pay are worth more and they don't have attractive financial alternatives.

@class70: I wish my relatives did make $328,000 per year, then I could sponge off them!

I understand the difference between TN and NY. I spent enough time in Tennessee to experience your comparison.

My point is that the difference between Olean and other A-10 cities are in favor of Olean in reference to cost of living. And especially DC and New England!

If I purchase a $300,000 home in Olean, I'll have the privilege of paying approximately $15,000/yr in property taxes alone. I could afford a much higher mortgage in most places if I took the difference in taxes and applied them to a more expensive home. After the higher taxes in every other area of taxation, I may or may not have a higher cost of living - all for right to live in a small town "with nothing to do". It's tough call for an outsider without connections to the area.
