I missed the boat around the Raleigh, NC area...i recently returned from a trip in the outskirts area of this metro looking for a place to land my family...but housing costs are just crazy high relative to what they used to be prior to the pandemic. I guess other technologists (and i suppose other white collar/knowledge workers who can more likely work remotely) had the same idea that i had...but well before i did. Oh well, on to other areas of the country. :-)
