I don't know if this is happening in Germany, but a great many workers in the US are now working from home. Since this means the worker is no longer tied to the location their company is located in, it's causing a huge shift of families moving to smaller cities or the countryside where the cost of living is less. I think it's difficult to settle on house prices in the US because they vary so much. In the southeast and midwest, the price of that house in Aurora Colorado would be considered high for 1,400 square feet. That price would buy 2,500 to 2,800 square feet in many places. Of course in California it would be a bargain.

The US is the most natural disaster prone country in the world. Masonry construction is dangerous in the face of tornadoes, hurricanes, and earthquakes. Building with wood is kinder for the environment and we have plenty of it.

Not putting faith in a central power was baked into the US system from the very beginning. Our federal government was supposed to have few powers and the states were supposed to have all the rest.

@TypeAshton Both my sister and my niece were able to begin working from home full-time last year. It caused them to pick up sticks and move to a beautiful warmer area with far lower costs of living. I think this trend is here to stay because workers are refusing to go back into the office for no reason now that the pandemic is over. ;)

@tonykyle2655 Yeah, there are still some jackass employers out there. I don't know why they insist on their people being in the office when so many other companies have gone to the work-at-home model. It makes them less desirable as employers.

@tonykyle2655 Are you thinking of asking HR to let you relocate?
