Very simple. People working high paying tech jobs are working remotely.
If you're working remotely, you no longer need to commute to the office. If that's true, why live in the locality, where houses and rents are sky high? Move someplace where home values are way lower, but are still nice areas to live.
It's gonna suck for those folks once their employers realize folks in India will do the same job for 25k per year.
For most people with kids and a decent income, school districts drive the location much more than just cost per square foot.
