Web Geeks Love Louisville (We Can Afford to Buy Houses Here)

Last night was the May meeting of Social Media Club Louisville. It was a really good meeting with lots of interesting discussions. My favorite comment of the evening though came from a relatively recent SF Bay Area transplant. He’d had to go back to San Francisco for business and noted an insanely high Twitter adoption rate amongst friends and colleagues in San Francisco compared to Louisville. He was quick to say he didn’t mean that comment be construed as being “down on” or negative toward Louisville. He followed up by declaring his undying affection for Louisville:

I Love Louisville. I can buy a house here.

With median house prices being in the $150,000 range here you don’t have to be super wealthy to buy a house That means entrepreneurs bootstrapping startups, single income families, freelancers and lots of other folks in Louisville can actually afford property. Try that in the Valley.
