    Lol that is an outright lie. There are so many places you can live affordably in the US… but people think they need to live in Manhattan and shit

      Cheap places have cheap jobs. It’s econ 101. Wages and prices will reach a similar equilibrium everywhere, though obviously there will be a few statistical outliers in both directions, in most cases given free movement of people, housing will cost the same relative to local salaries.

      Remote work is the only thing shaking up this equation.
