    I think you may be overestimating the average person’s financial capacity to uproot their lives and relocate themselves to somewhere more affordable. People who are already living paycheck to paycheck tend to struggle to save up enough money to cover the costs of moving down the street, let alone across the country.

        Salaries aren’t matching the cost of living ANYWHERE.

        And remote workers moving to cheaper areas prices out the locals. I wish ppl would stop acting like navigating the housing market is as simple as finding a parking spot. Chuckleheads
