The mesh in my area is growing quickly, at least it seems that way when checking the node list

We have both meshtastic and meshcore all getting more and more nodes.

The only issue that im seeing is the prices basically doubled for some of the hardware (esp32 and otherwise) and are probably going to go up significantly because of tarrifs and other factors.

Yes, I have noticed that too. Not surprising but sure to have an impact.

There is some good news. Theres enough esp32 and other chip clones to keep people honest. Kinda like arduinos.

Hopefully more like Arduino and less like RPi!
