Texas and Florida are some of the fastest growing states in the country. Texas is predicted to become the most populous state in 20 years

You said less people want to live in red states when that’s simply not true. Texas and Florida are growing significantly faster than California and New York. Two of the largest red states vs the two largest blue states.

Florida is very similar in population density to New York

Even though I’m not actually the one who said that, I’ll try to explain. Population growth in Florida and Texas has indeed outpaced most of the US in the past five years, but it’s not like that’s the trend among all red states, or that those people are (generally speaking) moving to the cheap, rural parts of those states. They’re moving to Miami, Houston, Austin, Nashville, etc., cities which are all experiencing their own housing shocks because they’re now starting to develop the population

density you’d see in some of the cities you’re probably referring to (NYC, SF, etc.). Those cities in red states probably aren’t any cheaper than living in like Fresno, CA or Utica NY at this point. You can’t say “red states are cheaper” and then point at the influx of people into Southern cities which, in their own right, are very expensive to live in. It’s cheaper to live in a red state when you live in bumfuck nowhere, not the places people actually want to live
