A few years ago I moved from a Silicon Valley 8-9 county to a Midwest 2-4 county. Something about seeing this map makes me feel good with my decision. I felt morally conflicted living in Silicon Valley where I knew most people at the stores I would shop at were struggling to afford housing. The house I was finally able to afford was about 20% of the starting price of where I lived in SFBA, and about twice the starting price of the market where I bought.

Is there any moral conflict in moving someplace cheap and outbidding all the locals with cash from selling your California house?
Not for me because that's not what I did.
