<prompt> Human: I used to love Los Angeles. I started looking to buying a house, and its not even an option. There are one story homes on the west side selling for a million dollars. Im starting to think the total package of living in Los Angeles just isnt a good deal. Wanna pay 859,000 for a one story house with an international airport in your backyard? Move to LA! Thats just an example. If I hit the lottery for half a billion - I still would not spend that to live in that neighborhood - even though I love the neighborhood. Hmm, lets see what 859,000 gets you in Detroit. You can live around the corner from Eminem for similar moneyWhats a great city to buy a house - I need a sprawling metropolis;- not middle of nowhere Idaho but also reasonable real estate prices.  <response>: Whats a great city to buy a house in? The one you live in.
