Regarding the house price, you need to think it this way. If you buy a $500 K house in Toronto now, 10 years later you can probably sell it for $650 K+. If you buy a $200 K house in Iowa, after 10 years you can sell it for $210 K maybe. Which one make more sense financially? Of course, it's a different story if you live in Iowa for the rest of your life, but I can hardly believe this will be the case. I have also lived in a small town, USA for 1.5 year, the first few months feel good, life is slower, easier and environment is better than big cities, good place to concerntrate on your study. But after a while, you will probably feel bored.
Those small towns will probably be the same 50 years from now no matter what happen
in the rest of world. In the end, it's a personal choice, if you enjoy simpler life in the countryside, these small towns will be great place to live.
