notice he only keep talking abt cheap housing price in some outskirt suburbs in the middle of the US, but not the 1st tier cities

"Home for Sale in Spring, TX $225000"

info from Wikipedia:" Spring, Texas is 32 km north of Houston, population 36385.

trying buying a similar house 30 km away from downtown NY, LA, SF or Boston. I'm sure i can get a similarly priced house in Calbooture, Queensland too......

I travel regularly to Houston for business and cannot believe how massive thier houses are. Houston is Huge - 4th largest City in the US.

Houston CBD surrounding areas is very very cheap, but old houses and not many people living there as most jobs are located outside CBD area. High crime areas of Houston are next to downtown CBD and surrounding area such as opposite convention center.

But if you like to live close to CBD - in Houston you can save money but its old. This house is located 2 mile from CBD.

Most people live in new suburb such as Sugarland, Katy, Spring, Humble, where the jobs are such as Halliburton, Nasa, Shell, etc

I have been to Spring (near the Houston airport) as that is where our local HQ is and where our colleagues there live. Many manufacturing jobs are in North Houston.

But there are many, many cheap houses close to the Houston Energy Corridor (West Houston, home of Shell, Esso, etc) where all the energy employees live. This is 7 miles from the Shell HQ. Pool, 300SQ/M, 250KUSD

Or where the Chinese live close to Chinatown (Southwest Houston) 2755 Sq/ft 250K AUD$

Or if you are a Chinese Engineer working for Nasa you will live in Clear Lake, (Southeast Houston)

Whatever houses you will find in Houston- it is massively cheaper than Singapore,Australia or the UK.
