Anyone talking about MAGA on here is deluded. And I know this because I've been reading this forum ever since Trump was elected (and long before) and 99% of the sky is falling because of DOGE and DC real estate is going to take a massive hit were from anti-trump people. Give me a break.
And the MSN article is clickbait. 242 "cities" are going to be individual suburban towns that are classified as cities. Places like Piedmont, CA, Winnetka, IL, Bronxville, NY, you know, rich suburban towns. They're going to pack that list. Just like what they've always done. Here's a nice quote:
"The New York City metro area, which includes parts of New Jersey and Pennsylvania, leads all metro areas with 63 cities where a typical starter home costs $1 million or more. The San Francisco metro follows with 37, then Los Angeles (33), San Jose (13), Miami (8) and Seattle (8)."
D'oh. 63 cities in the tri-state, how is that even possible? Wait, oh, you mean rich suburbs in Westchester and Fairfield. Har har. "cities."

It was less a prediction than a wish. Which begs the question, who wishes for someone else's city to collapse economically?
Losers?

MAGAs. I think their biggest obsession is San Francisco.

The Magas and Fox news didn't understand that few of the feds they laid off could afford to buy a sfh in the dc area.
Those who could typically had a spouse or partner who was making more money. Duh.

The fired feds are being hired back to their jobs as contractors.

How many feds did you think could afford those homes? Many rent, or own suburban townhouses, or commute from the exurbs. I know multiple feds who commute from WV or from places like Triangle.
The few who have homes close-in typically have a non-fed spouse who can support that payment.

Don't know. I've been pleased to see my property increase with no end in sight.

It was MAGAs and Fox News who said that.
There actually were very few layoffs because DOGE was remarkably ineffective, so we really don't know what would have happened if there had been large-scale layoffs and reduction of government spending. Trump has grown the size of government more than any other president before him.

Are you still here? The RE market has not gotten better prices wise. Starter homes are now 1M across 242 cities across the US, including DC, up from 80 cities since the pandemic, February 2020. Is this a migration to city effect like what happened in Japan? I am discouraged for the GenZ generation. This is not just a US issue, many countries in Asia and Europe are experiencing the same problem.
