    They disproportionately move to LGBT tolerant places, which tend to be expensive metro areas or blue states where real estate is expensive.

      I know right! Why can’t more socially progressive places also be economically progressive.

      Not everyone can afford an education or have enough support and stability to keep working their way towards it.

      For crying out loud. The whole foods plant based diet is 30% cheaper and yet the places that also have the most vegans is also likely to be the most expensive.
