Denver hasn't been that place for more than a few decades. Heck, the whole rocky mountain region has never ever been a place for cheap housing. Western housing prices are high historically for reasons related to desirability. They never were as cheap as the midwest or deep south.

Median price per sq ft in Denver is $377 according to Google. That's still on the order of half the cost in Seattle of SF.

Ya, but also still way above average ($220/sqf). If you ever moved to Denver or anywhere our west for cheap housing, you didn’t do your homework.
