Some areas in the country experience major population growth because that’s where the jobs are. In those areas not enough older people leave their homes to compensate for the influx of new residents. It’s not even close.

The housing supply argument is completely accurate.

This is true. The question is, why would they? Generally, with a few exceptions like Florida, the places where the jobs are are also the best places to be old.

Especially in places like the Bay Area where there is a huge influx of global talent.
