Quick Zillow Search of Corning, New York

Only shows one house for sale that is above $1 million. I even removed the city limit boundary. There is one in Chambers for $900,000.

I am not moving there now.

If the cheating isn't corrected and the rightfully elected man isn't allowed to continue working.

Then Trump in 2024 will be a landslide, and I got first dibs on a bet with greed over a perma-ban.

We can do the perma ban bet right now....ya coward, punk, sot.

Never heard of Chambers. You must not know how to work a basic internet search function.

The wealthy - like the execs at the Fortune 500 headquarters that is based there - will buy a local place with 6000 square feet on 5 acres for $1MM like this place:

In all seriousness, there were a handful of kids in my high school whose fathers were execs at that company. One was one of the best friends of my brother, and their house was nice (probably around 5000 square feet) on top of a hill but not extravagant. They did, of course, have the lake house. One of the other kids was a baseball player two years younger than me. Some of his classmates who we pulled up early for the playoffs were able to figure out the kid's father's earnings each year for a bunch of years. He had earned something like $20MM over the previous four years in salary, bonuses, and stock. Yet they lived in an average house (at that time, probably a $250k house) in a fairly upper-middle class neighborhood (but far from the nicest neighborhoods). Most of those families had their regular house (nice but nothing over-the-top) and then had a more expensive lake house, a southern house and/or a nice NYC apartment since their fathers commuted there so often for work.

Cheap housing, very comparable on a dollar per square foot basis with its Appalachian cousin, Huntington, WV.

Yeah, but Corning actually has legitimate public education, beautiful public areas/services, and is immune to crackheads walking downtown, so as a result, property taxes make that property far more expensive.

I was with Raelynn a few nights ago, so it’s no surprise that even she is talking about Corning.

I did a zillow search for Corning, NY. The other house was Chambers Road. Zillow even listed Luxury homes for Corning, NY.

It looks pretty affordable there. Lots of house for the $$$. Problem is that weather, too cold. Also, it is in NY.
