Ah LA and NYC used to be my two dream locations but the cost of living there is ridiculous. I know companies will usually pay you more to account for that but still, like Scientific Method said, I don't want to live in a shoebox of a house

Atlanta, Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, OKC, Tulsa, Albequerque, St Louis, Kansas City, etc. Of course, it somewhat evens out in that you make less money generally but it goes further if you understand what I mean. Also, you don't have to live in studio "apartments" that are the size of what we call walk in closets down bottom. Like I said above, I bought a new construction house with a 3 car garage for under $100 sq/ft. It's Elgin though, which is a small rural town 10miles outside of a mid sized Army town (Lawton) with about a 180k population, same house would be about $115-120 a sq/ft in Lawton, in fact my same builder has a neighborhood here in town, and he charges 198k for it here.
There is a Cost of Living Calculator here http://cgi.money.cnn.com/...living/costofliving.html you can use as a reference. Also check out http://www.bestplaces.net/ for some ideas. Austin is a city I have been hearing so much about, particularly being a place for young professionals, that I really want to go check out myself one day. I hear decent things about North Carolina too.
I'm checking that calculator out right now. Right now I'm trying to go to college in Texas, either Austin or Houston, and that is where I'll probably find my job and start living when I graduate.
Texas feels like a great place to live though. Endless heat/sunshine, high speed limits, low property costs, Houston is something I'd really look into after graduation.
true. ive actually seen some pretty cool ones on apartment therapy but the thought of bringing a girl home to a loft bed makes me cringeOriginally Posted by proper english

I have this sofa. Bought it from overstock.com for around $1300. It was a @!#$@ to get in the front door of my apt. but I really do like it. It comfortable and can seats 3 people with 2 of them laying down. I think the Crate and Barrel - Era tables match it well. I want to throw a few more pillows on it eventually. Nice pillows are expensive.
Stuytown?

There's tons on eBay, just search sofa legs and also table legs they'll be listed as but then the height indicate they are for couches. Wait is the frame on those proprietary? Is it even necessary?
