Strong coastal city bias in your post. Most places outside major cities have very affordable housing, especially given today’s interest rates.
What you mean is that people should live wherever they want and others should foot the bill for them living in desirable areas.
- ngngngng 6y agoThe only places I've lived as an adult are rural Utah and rural Illinois. The affordability issue in Illinois is soaring property taxes pricing people out. Valuations in Utah are growing at an insane rate at the moment. I bought a duplex just a couple years ago for $270k. I could sell it today for just about double that. https://www.sltrib.com/homeprices/ https://www.sltrib.com/homeprices/
