> California People find dramatically cheaper homes in other states
...sharply increasing housing costs for the people who were already there (housing doubled here after 2019).
This has been going on for at least fifty years. People make their fortunes in California, go somewhere else, buy a middling house and spend a hundred grand on improvements.
It was a known pattern in my home town. I saw it myself in Portland.
I've been here for 35years and this was the first time our housing cost doubled in 2 years.
