Because nobody wants to live in the south, midwest and east coast.

The west coast was a great place to live, people moved there, they didn’t build enough housing, people lose their jobs and can’t afford rent, they go homeless.



False.

These are the fastest growing regions of the country. Texas and Florida are going to take several West Coast electoral votes if trends continue.


False.

They’re growing now because people can’t afford the west coast anymore.


That doesn't change the fact that people literally want to live there vs the west coast


It's not that they don't want to live in the west coast. It is that they can't. Again, NIMBYs, rising rent, supply and demand etc etc.


It means people literally don't want to live there, but choose to because the west coast is too expensive.
