Sure it is. My wife and I packed up and left our hometown at 22. Since then we have moved states 3 more times in 21 years.

Makes sense now. Both purchased houses and rentals are being driven by out-of-towners with deeper pockets. Houses are going to people wealthy enough to buy a 2nd home and rentals are going to college kids that are being rented based on the parents' income. If Wikipedia can be trusted more than 1/2 of the town's population are college students.

Where isn't marijuana legal now? Joking, but there are only 14 states left that you can't smoke a little weed.
