Most people don't even vote. The most obvious thing I can see here is people are moving from high CoL areas to low CoL (which also tracks with the growth in remote work).
- beerandt 5y agoAre you suggesting CoL has nothing to do with political policy? People might not want to admit to themselves that they want to be republicans, but they sure want to live wherever republican policy dominates.
- nemothekid 5y ago>Are you suggesting CoL has nothing to do with political policy? When it comes to factors that affect CoL, both parties are pretty much bipartisan in their approach. >but they sure want to live wherever republican policy dominates. Because, historical, republican states have smaller cities, which mean less demand and lower CoL. Someone priced out of San Francisco isn’t going to find it cheaper to live in Phoenix than Chicago. As a result, prices are already shooting up and will probably do so until there is an equilibrium that follows a supply/demand curve.
