What puzzles me, as a resident of the sane state of Tennessee, is how sane people living in blue states CONTINUE to live there. They must know that these states offer them little protection, and constantly work against their best interests.
The cost of living there is so high that you cannot afford to leave. Also, to get a place in a new town, you need a job in that town. To get a job, you need a place most of the time unless you are a travelling worker like an OTR trucker.
Or, sell at the inflated rate, move to where you want to be or where you get a job you like, and rent until you find a buyable place. If you're 60+, maybe consider doing your best to cash out, set up a temporary rental and want investment fund that you can, and start looking for cruise ships to live on...

I rent. I have never been able to do anything but rent.
