Re: Housing in Moscow

Jennifer,
It seems to me that the salaries of the major employers (UI, Moscow School
District)are low compared to universities and school districts elsewhere,
but the housing costs here are much higher. When we moved here 20 years ago
from a university town in the midwest, we paid $60,000 for a house than
would have cost us $35,000 in our previous location.
