To add: If it's all because of the legalization of marijuana, then everyone will be glad when (and I believe it IS when not if) it someday becomes legal in all states. Right now I am so happy for the small Michigan town I live in. Real estate is extremely reasonable compared to other places. Since retiring two years ago I am on a fixed income. I can live quite comfortably in my home for which payments are less than $400. 2 bed 1 bath, under 1000 sq. ft. but in a very nice neighborhood. Last time I visited my son in Montana, well I flew out there one year ago today for his open heart surgery, I was sickened to see that dumpy homes were going for about twice what my home here would sell for. Heck, when he was looking for housing, which was very very scarce, last winter he was LUCKY to find a single wide trailer home in a park (totally not fancy) for over $1000 a month. Not including utilities. Thank goodness he struck up a deal with a girl who was a friend of his to rent out her spare room. Now they are gf/bf and so I am really happy it turned out that way, but I was super worried about what he was going to do for housing. It truly was the high demand. People were living in campers there just last year. Or 4 guys working on the oil rigs were pitching in on a small apartment and sleeping in shifts. Many people paid through the nose just to find a fleabag motel to live in.
