๐Ÿ“Œ Context is King

Red states like Texas, Florida, and Arizona have long drawn migrants from blue states with one unbeatable pitch: cheap housing. But that advantage may be fading. A slowdown in new home construction in the Sunbelt, driven by zoning rules, red tape, and land limits, is starting to push prices up.

Meanwhile, blue states like California are finally making it easier to build, rolling back decades of environmental hurdles. If these trends persist, the great migration of Americans from blue to red could stallโ€”and maybe reverse.

๐Ÿ“Ž Note on CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act)
Originally passed in 1970, CEQA was designed to protect the environment by requiring thorough impact reviews before development. Over time, however, it became a legal weapon used by unions, homeowners, and activists to delay or block housing projects. The 2024 reform now exempts most urban housing developments from CEQA reviews.

๐Ÿง  In Focus

The numbers paint a clear picture: Miami, Tampa, Phoenixโ€”once known for affordabilityโ€”are now among the fastest-growing markets in price. Developers no longer respond as quickly to demand, partly because zoning laws ban apartment buildings across most red-state cities.

Meanwhile, immigration crackdowns and material tariffs are making construction slower and pricier. Red states may be confronting the same brick-wall of NIMBYism that plagued their blue-state counterparts for years. And if they canโ€™t build, they might stop winning new residents.
