The US is pretty bad if you force yourself to remain in the same area (which, to be fair, most people do).

But the US is large and there are places where housing really isn't the issue (but there can be other issues, too).

That's changing quickly though. Most of the cheaper places did 'cheap' via sprawl, and that's kind of low hanging fruit that you need to move beyond in terms of housing options, sooner or later.

Combining increased demand with reduced supply has caused a huge "pig in a snake" scenario, which is going to readjust suddenly (arguably it already has around here) where built supply is starting to outstrip demand.

That's kinda what I was saying

The US has places that you can live cheaply if you're able to arbitrage a remote job. It doesn't look as good if you're not able to work remote.
