If Amazon wants to locate its HQ2 in the most-affordable spot for housing, there’s an obvious choice: Pittsburgh. 

The tech giant’s list of 20 potential sites for its second North American headquarters includes the Pennsylvania city, where the median home price in the fourth quarter was US$129,900 (RM511,663), according to data prepared by Trulia.com. By comparison, prices in the Los Angeles metro area were more than four times higher, making it the most-expensive option.
