I'd rather live here than on 30-A. From my house, I can walk or bike to the grocery store, bank, medical complex, gym, four different pools, a couple different restaurants, and elementary school. I could even bike to work if I wanted to commute that way. The quiet office complexes tucked behind the grocery store hold high wage-high tech jobs where an engineer makes $75K+ a year.
SoWal, everything's so spread out you've got to drive for so many daily activities.
Any place has pros and cons. I like living so close to the ocean that I can hear it roaring when I take the dogs out at night. I do wish things were a bit closer, but there is a certain beauty of living in seclusion much of the year
I don't think you can get a house & utilities for $650 a month pre tax in most places in the US.
And the places you can get that $650/month house generally are places where the $15/hour jobs are far and between.

So, as the common consensus among the locals I know, that $15 an hour is doing really good, yet they can't afford most housing costs, how exactly do we fix this?
Guess it depends on what you want to buy, and for how much. Of course, there is also the question of earning the money where to pay for the how much?! I made a comment years ago, YOU CAN'T EAT PRESTIGE!
Move to N'ville or Bay county. It isn't so far that you can't still visit and care for your people.
I think part of it is that people need to adjust their expectations/how they figure what is affordable. Owning a home is a big achievement and not something everyone can afford, especially on just one salary.
The national average salary for someone 25 years or older who works full time and only has a high school education is $31,500 a year - basically $15 an hour.
IMO we shouldn't be basing our analysis of the affordability of local housing costs on a single income with only a high school diploma.

And they say nobody listens!!! How about another alternative thrown into the mix? Say, better paying jobs? If people have to move from their homes, where they have lived for generations, just to better their lifestyle, this choice leads often times to depression. Quite a dilemma actually, sometimes leading to the popular pastime, sit in the woods and drink BEER!
