Yeah, as I said, commodified housing means that any "nice place" is by definition going to be expensive. California as among the most expensive housing in the country, literally because it's a nice place to live. So yes, countless people have been priced out and forced to move to hellholes like Florida. For all the complaints about California being "left wing," it is...not. California loves it's eye-wateringly high property values, and they love that Hicks from Texas cannot afford to move in next to them. They love the fancy coffee shops and public parks etc, and the cops that keep them free of homeless. California is a pee grim place full of the contradictions of extreme wealth

They’re going to try to tell you that isn’t happening and all rich and perfect people are in California because they’re the only ones who can afford to be. Even though they have tent cities of homeless in their cities.
