As someone that lives on the coast, I am not witness to this. Im not trying to argue numbers ... i cant get passed the paywall to see if they (WSJ) have any ... but youre not going to buy a house in my town anytime soon. Youre not going to find a reasonable priced house within 35 miles of the coast from san diego to seatle. If you do I urge you to buy it. Edit: Saw the archive site ... No one is 'fleeing' the coast. The apartments vacated by those buying somewhere else were immediately filled. Title should say 'coastal renters buying inland'
