don't worry everyone leaving California and gentrifying your neighborhood over the next decade will make this even worse
why tf does America not have good public housing
Those Californians are leaving cuz they can't afford California, ask me how I know
It's really hard not to resent Calif*rnians when they move to your city, buy home(s) in cash, brag about their big salaries, and then complain about the weather and Mexican food
As a Canadian, why? What’s so special about Austin? Is it one of the few cities that’s still affordable to live in while being large enough to constitute a city or something?
Tech is moving there because Texas has lower taxes. They're moving to Austin because it's the one city in Texas not politically dominated by chuds.
Austin is cool, it's on par with Denver, Portland, Seattle, the Bay Area, NYC, Atlanta, etc popular cities
It's like this in basically every medium to large city in the US. Cost of housing has gone up 10% just in the last year where I live. It was bad before COVID but all the plague movers are flocking here and buying homes in cash when locals can't even afford a loan for a mortgage. It's fucked.
Just looked at Minneapolis and there's so much housing stock compared to the PNW. Made me consider uprooting everything I know just to get a nice house for a reasonable price
I used to live in the PNW. Can't afford to anymore.
I miss my fourteen hour rain storms. :(
