Or there are well educated Gen Z people from blue states who are moving to where to CoL is lower because the economy and job market have been royally fucked by the generations before them?

Or maybe, and far more likely, both are true among other reasons.

why would anybody move to shithole states like Texas, Missouri, Tennessee, Ohio, Arizona?

these are not just Republican strongholds, but have increased COL when compared to states like Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, Maine.

Hmmm

State-level figures are reliable for taxes, school systems and healthcare provision, because those really are set at state level. They are unreliable for housing. A statewide median rent averages a major metropolitan area with rural counties and accurately describes neither of them: the gap between the cheapest and priciest metro inside one large state routinely exceeds the gap between two average states.

Cost of housing ≠ cost of living.

Also, hmmm.

Cost of housing ≠ cost of living.

yet you posted housing costs as a source for COL.

are you using AI or something to argue your point?
