Teachers and nurses still don't get paid enough even in cheap places, where housing is extremely affordable like Detroit, Cleveland, all of Mississippi, etc. So maybe it's a bigger problem in HCOL areas like California, but it's a problem everywhere. The problem is, in the last ~20 years we went from ~7% of the population being retired to ~20%. Over the next 10 years, it's going to get close to ~30%.
