“Why are blue states always so expensive?!”. It’s supply and demand. High demand to live someplace makes it expensive.

My million dollar house is worth as much as it is because of its located near high paying jobs, good school, and good neighbors. It’s expensive to live where I live because lots of people want to live here.

Yeah, but it’s supply and demand. I bet your million dollar home isn’t next to an apartment building. Cities would be much cheaper if it weren’t for NIMBYs who already own homes insisting that their homes must appreciate in value at all times.

And yet Massachusetts is probably the first state with a statewide zoning overrride, allowing just that, near any transit (including buses).

It’s too early to tell whether it will work, but one of the first examples is about to open near me

There’s higher demand to live in Florida and Texas. Look at the domestic immigration numbers. People are leaving CA, NY, IL and MA in droves.

Yeah, crappy places are more affordable. “Look how cheap the shitty places are, let’s make the whole country shitty so it is cheaper” is a strange logic. Is rather bring everything up to MA standards so the supply is higher and demand isn’t driving prices up.
