Double digit year-over-year median price increases....How are all of these stoners coming here affording that!

And then the very next article is this:

Quote:
Rents rise 6.2% in Colorado.

National rents averaged 3.3% in February.

Rising rents could drive more people to buy homes.

How, when there are no homes to buy, or in the price range where there actually is decent supply ($500k+) affordability becomes a huge issue for the average family.
