“What’s changing,” continued Marr, “is the affordability of the most popular destinations. Some locals, particularly renters who aren’t able to take advantage of rising homme values, are getting priced out of places like Phoenix and Austin as the cost of housing and other goods and services go up. New construction tends to be robust in sprawling Sun Belt cities, and local governments ought to continue to prioritize building new homes to keep up with ongoing demand.”
