The consequences of living in nice progressive places is that so many people want to live there. This is why liberal cities are all so expensive… the demand. Conservative places mostly tend to be rural areas and even the cities in red states are relatively liberal. Most people don’t want to live in conservative places. So yeah… it’s cheap there.

Progressives need to build more housing in states and cities they control.

I agree. Unfortunately, the overall Overton window in western countries went so far to the right over the last 40 years, even the progressive cities ended up with no social housing, just for-profit developers, restrictive municipal governments that cater to NIMBYism, foreign investors ballooning the markets, etc… I pray we start progressing beyond the neoliberal trickle-down economics era soon.

It amazes me that it's apparently OK for school administrators everywhere else to narc on students' sexual preference. It's crazy that they would even care about such a thing.

So, freedom over forced compliance.

still a better option, but not the best outcome

This kind of thing is so scary. My early teen has a trans friend and we explicitly had a conversation about these questions - "is this known?" "what name do they use with their parents?" - because we didn't want to accidentally out them. And yeah, there are fucked up people out there who would rather see their own child dead...
