a lot of those who 'made it' are actually cashing out of their real estate and moving north, or east. they end up with a bigger house, less taxes, more cash in the bank.

with climate change, oregon and colorado will be just like california in 10 years anyway! as for texas and its droughts and carpetbaggers... well, it'll be even more california than california.

They're already moving to Oregon. And it's having a ripple effect in places like Portland and even here in Bend. Some of it's good in that there are more people to work here, and more people interested in investing, and so on. But in terms of housing, it's problematic.
