The areas with stable weather such as the OR and CA have been building too few homes to keep up with the population growth.

Take the medium sized town I lived in for example, average home price is well over $1M which is unreachable for most. The city is bounded by sea and mountains and the land is mostly built out. Even though all new constructions are multi-family homes, hundreds more needs to be built. Existing homes are privately owned and will hardly change even under SB9 (allowing duplex). Empty or vacant lots are few and take years to review/infill.

Found this an unfortunate recurring theme when people talk about moving for jobs/weather/lifestyle. The life-changing things are often local and outside your news feed
