My salary didn’t change at all, but homes went up 82%. The money I saved for a down payment and my salary no longer are good enough for this home and many others. This ain’t even a “good” home either. It was a 200k meh average ok home before. Now it’s simply unaffordable

    but that it’s ironic that they didn’t think through the consequences

    And what part of that consequence is the native Texan’s fault? If anything it simply proves their point.

      I didn’t say fault anywhere. I said it was ironic. It’s ironic that they laughed at Californians moving to TX, talked about how much better TX was better than CA, never realizing that the location had nothing to do with the problems, but rather capitalism and population growth. It’s ironic that the things they said Texas didn’t have are now the things Texas is directly facing.

        For it to be ironic, there would have to be some sense of Texans doing it to themselves. People coming in from another state is not a Texan’s fault. I don’t see the “irony” here.
