So many people, especially those with plans to move here, make this statement and set it in concrete. I'd like to open a discussion (especially after reading the post from the family moving from Seattle) about COL.
COL< made up of a basket of rent, taxes, food, utilities,.... you all know the rest. It also is a relative scale, to me at leas,t because we have different life styles and standards of living.
My question is, are people honest with themselves when they make the statement? Do most people really think this out? Have these people been in a supermarket? Or a gas station. Or Plaza Salud? or, on and on with ALL the parts of the basket?
I have no horse in this race because I'm doing the" whole living thing" another way which of course is by my choice. But, I would love to hear the observations from the forum on the true story of COL.
