Tech workers struggle to afford housing in AI data center boom regions

High-earning AI and data center professionals (6-figure salaries) are unable to find affordable housing in areas experiencing rapid tech industry growth, causing them to either relocate away from opportunities or face severe financial strain. Current real estate markets in these regions are being outpaced by job creation, leaving workers priced out despite substantial incomes. Existing housing solutions don't account for the speed and concentration of this new employment wave.
