The price of housing in those towns 60 miles away skyrockets because of the influx of people and development, so those who have been living and working there for lower pay cannot afford to buy either. This is what's happening in the eastern panhandle of WV, where housing prices have more than doubled in the past five years. My friend had to get a teaching job in the nearby suburbs of VA because she couldn't afford to buy a house at her WV salary, and was getting sick of renting at age 34.
