To a Californian who wants to move to Taos because of the cheap prices?

I was just traveling for work in the San Francisco area. And I ended up having a nice conversation with this couple who lives in San Francisco. We got to talking about Taos. They exclaimed how excited they were to go in and pay cash for a big piece of property and house in Taos.

I instantly shut down and didn’t know what to say.

Is this the beginning of California coming in and pushing out the locals? I was really hoping we were still a nice hidden gem.

I don’t mean to be mean against people moving here. But this story of California it’s coming in and paying all cash honestly scares me.
