What would you do if you were offered to double your salary by moving to Tucson?

I could buy several double-wides in Tucson if I doubled my salary

Then you couldn’t b/c you wouldn’t uproot your family, very different than Pope.

It wouldn’t matter nearly as much if they’re doubling my salary versus paying me 10% more
