Yeah I understand supply and demand. I also understand that things like transportation costs, many things dealing with energy costs, and the differences in cost between renting and buying are at the feet of politicians that vote in certain policies and allow these things to happen to line their lobbyists pockets.
Californians get a bad rap and singles out but they’re by far the only ones. The problem is that people leave areas where the policies they helped vote for have driven costs…yet they vote for the same policies once they’ve left the area. Too many people follow a letter ( R or D) instead of following common sense.
