Housing prices have risen everywhere, but they are still dramatically cheaper than SF or even Austin. The average home price in the US is more than 1/2 that of SF. Big cities in Texas are typically cheaper than Austin (Houston and San Antonio averages are around $350k).

If you restrict yourself to specific "tech lifestyle" cities obviously that's a different story.

If your current prices are half ours, and a small influx can double prices in a year, then QED.
