The reddest areas are CA, NY, Boston and the places people who have made a bunch of money in those places buy vacation homes and/or cash out and retire to. It's literally just a problem in a few places but the people of those places are exporting their housing cost problems as they move out (i.e by using their wall street money to out-compete the locals for a scenic square of swamp). If you just took a bunch of Wall Street bankers, a bunch of CA VCs and then mapped their cell phone location data over the next several days (July 4 weekend) you'd get basically the same map.
