Haha, I moved here from Manhattan, where I lived in a 1 BR that was luxurious by Manhattan standards but tiny by real world standards.

I'm very happy with my house, but I think it's probably smaller than what most software developers in the US would choose if they lived in an area this inexpensive.

If you don't have children, a larger space would be more burden than necessity. Be happy that you moved away from the jail cell. I'd move if I could too. ;-)

Both a blessing and a curse. When you cook your own meals, you end up eating much more healthy. Having a yard also means you can grow your own vegetables, which is also normally much healthier.
