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.

I don't mind folks selling their property; just sell it to someone who lives here already

The $hit of it there is no financial advantage that your home doubled in value in five years, unless you want to leave the state. Just the opposite, the state has its' hand out to insure they get double their property tax .

Montana's like the girl you dated in college that was out of your league........she sure is pretty, but hard to hold on to.
