Olympia: A Cheap Place You'd Want to Live

MSN has named Olympia one of their 8 cheap places you'd want to to live in the country. They define a good affordable place to live as a place with a strong economy, a college, and a low crime rate. Isn't something to be proud of that we are a community where you don't have to be rich to have good quality of life? I think that is a hard thing to come by anymore.
