And home prices are going way up because people who are flush with cash can afford to pay higher prices for property that suddenly is in high demand. It’s hurting many residents, especially young people, said Allie Woods, a resident of Harper.

Woods said she pays $400 a month for a rental house, but has to move because the home is being sold. A similar house that she looked at is renting for $1,000 a month, she said.

She should get a job with the oil companies..

Good idea...

When R Byrd ‘moved’ all the Fed Jobs to WV how much do you think the ‘locals’ got out of the deal?

Would imagine most of the employees of IRS were more than happy to get out of Northern VA/MD DC suburbs and DC high cost of living to relocate in the much cheaper Charlestown/Ransom/Harpers Ferry area (at our expense)....
Of course, with all the ‘Outlanders’ coming in the locals got to pay the extended real estate taxes, the new infrastructure as in roads, sewers etc and the rising rates that ‘new money’ brings to an area.

So basically, for a few guards, janitors and lower scale jobs they get to share the brunt....
