<prompt> Human: I just finished moving from Houston to Baltimore due to my wife getting moved for work. Everyone was telling us that Houston is less expensive. I cant disagree more. The housing price is okay for a new home, but in the long term the taxes of that house will make the house about the same price. The cost of grocery is about the same, but at least Houston has a big selection. The cost of gas is 10 cents less, but you are going to be driving longer distances to go from town to town, so it cancels out that saving. I am new to Houston, but I have not yet found any cost savings, maybe it will become more apparent in the future. edit spelling  <response>: Maybe you meant to post this in a city sub-reddit?What does this have to do with personal finance?
