Hey mike

i heard the same thing and that is the general opinion here in pl.
I don't know nowy sacz as a place to live but if you compare the place that you come from with warsaw - according to the ubs city cost report, that the cost calculator bases on: http://www.easyexpat.com/images/ubs_pl.pdf, then you can still easily substract 20% from this to give you a rough estimation of nowy sacz. As far as housing is concerned, then the cost might even be half in comparison with the capitol city. You can check some options here: http://dom.gratka.pl/mieszkania-do-wyna ... _sacz.html

hope it helps
