Re: Texan heaven HaHa! It's been like that in Texas for at least 15 years. I'm sure the prices will creep up there eventually. In Missouri you can get a house pretty cheap too, much better than in Washington State where I'm from. Of course like I said earlier, it depends on the region of the country you're in. Cailfornia is obscene in housing along with most major cities, and no... I'm not talking about Lincoln Nebraska.
