Montana is #1 (well actually #50)

When a good portion of highly paid workers across the country can make a living anywhere, the best states will be overtaken by non residents.

Most of my clients were independently wealthy, often from out of state, and 90% didn’t give a rats ass about schools, the other things that make up healthy well functioning town, or anything other than what they could get for free, and I do a little happy dance every time one of them drops dead.

They want it un-affordable to put us tiny highrises in the dam city. It’s part of the plan.
It’s dang tough to make it as the middle class but I know there are people way worse off so I try not to complain to much….I see Detroit is affordable.

Who is to blame the people selling or the people buying?

All about demand. "Westward ho" is still a thing. And specific location is far more telling than just looking at state averages. For example, last time I checked per-capita income levels between Portland and Seattle (ber fed Bureau of Economic Analysis), people in Seattle were 47% higher than Portland. That's a helluva difference in affordability since living in Seattle is not 47% higher cost.
