What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

A report from Redfin noted that if state and local tax (SALT) deductions are eliminated in high-tax states like California, some wealthy Californians might move to states where they can purchase homes for less money. Redfin migration data shows that people are looking to leave expensive coastal cities for more affordable mid-tier cities, including Atlanta and Phoenix.
