And, of course, the media comes up with a ludicrously false narrative to explain it:
Forget Seattle, Denver and San Francisco. Boise, Idaho, is poised to be the hottest housing market at the start of the next decade.
A new report from Realtor.com identified the housing markets that are expected to see the most notable home sales and price growth in 2020. Boise ranked No. 1, a marked increase from No. 8 a year ago.
Driving Boise’s climb up the Realtor.com ranking is the massive influx of new residents from pricier parts of the country — in particular, California. Many of these out-of-state buyers are drawn by the city’s mild climate, outdoor lifestyle, strong schools and its major employers, including HP and Micron Technologies MU.
One of the biggest changes is the shift away from the coasts. All but one of the cities projected to be among the 10 hottest housing markets in 2020 are located inland — Charleston, S.C., being the outlier.
Right, that’s why whites fleeing the diversity paradise of California are retreating to Boise. Because Hewlett-Packard – which was founded in Palo Alto, California – is there. That sounds convincing.
The truth is that white Americans are trying to escape diversity and are retreating to areas that are still heavily white. But they can’t run away from it because the diversity is going to follow them wherever they go, and they would still rather die than risk being called racist.
