I get what your saying. I actually moved from NJ to PA because I refuse to pay the ridiculous taxes on a home. What I paid for my house with alot of land and peaceful area would be in the middle of the hood in Newark. Obviously I traded that for the city life which is a big change but I've gotten use to it. It's unfortunate but if your getting priced out of where you're at you are going to have to make the shift. I'm close enough to NJ where I just commute to see family and friends. I like that I have the peace of mind knowing my house will be paid off well before I retire so it's a risk worth taking. In fact I've seen the shift taking place while being here for 5 years. More and more people from NJ and NY left to come over here. With that comes more diversity, and businesses. Home/land ownership matters stop wasting time and money staying in a neighborhood that priced you out.

Miami hasn't been the cheap place to take your high salary to in quite some time. and now these Miami/phoenix/dallas type markets have inched closer to NY house prices. its uglyWork from home means the south will not be affordable any longer.
Imagine getting NY or CA money while living in Miami
.at least in NY you can save 1k or more (with current gas prices) by not having a car

Very large service economy and small market jobs. Of course money isn't enough to survive.
