I feel like in 2025 in SoCal that this post couldn’t be real. Got my home for $600k and a decade later it’s worth $1.6m. Could I be rich simply by moving to Washington?

Yeah, moving to lower cost of living will make you relatively rich. It's a reason people sometimes retire to rural (lower tax-red) areas. However, If you're still working the usual problem is that the jobs also pay less and "amenities" are also less. Fewer good restaurants, less option for entertainment, worse schools, etc.

There's also the problem of then having to live in a dysfunctional conservative shit hole.

And the restaurant thing is 100% true. The food alone would be enough for me to be a proponent of multiculturalism lol. Even if there were no other benefits (there are tons). Give me all of the ethnicities' foods plz.

Old people without kids in school move to cheap areas and then fight to keep the taxes low so they don’t have to pay for services they don’t want. Nothing worse than being gentrified by the old

Yeah, basically what happened to Florida and a part of why it went from swing state to Red.
