People with more money, and also willing to go into more debt (I’ve heard about some insane mortgages - you’re not supposed to buy as high as possible!), or who have families with money willing to buy them a house. My husband and I talk about this a lot - why do people have bigger houses and nicer cars than we do? But the answer is, they’re more comfortable with debt than we are.

OP when is the last time you left a review for an insurance company? People only tend to leave reviews if something real good or bad happens. Much more likely bad things happening so you get a bias in the reviews.

If you're employed, can't afford housing and move out, you're no longer counted in the labor force of the state you left.

Do people get priced out of New Jersey? Yes. Is it a torrential flood that's leading to a hemorrhaging population? The 2020 census showed that was not the case, and I've seen little evidence indicating the estimates of the last few years are any more reliable.
