No, land in the states is only cheap in the west. Texas being one of the best places. Can get homes there for a third of the cost of the same house in the east, for instance.

Feg, gas in the USA is more than $3 per gallon. Some areas have it higher than 4. While that is still a little lower than in England, it's still nuts.
