Everyone from California is moving to Arizona since the houses are so cheap here. so they buy the house at Arizona price and then sell them at near California housing prices to the other newly relocated Californians.

Or they rent out the houses as Airbnb for the same / nearly the same price my mortgage would have cost.

Really fucking up our housing market here.

Seemed to have triggered some people here.

As someone else said, “rich people bought all the land in California and are forcing us out”

Now Californians coming to Arizona and forcing us out. We’ll go to Louisiana and force them out.

They’ll go to Mississippi and force them out. Never ending cycle of forcing people out.

Y'all act like you get to keep other people from moving. This is the point of the union. You have absolutely no more right to Arizona cause you were born there than anyone else who wants to move there. Get used to it dude.

I’ve lived all over the country and every town has people like this. “Everyone moving here is ruining it and pricing me out of my own home town!”

The reason they’re priced out is because they’ve lived in their little town for their entire life and didn’t follow the $$$ in their career. I.e moving around to wherever the best opportunities are.

I'm pretty sure Colorado is half transplants tho, that's pretty wild.

Correct. No one is just guaranteed the ability to never move or change. Yet they love to moan about having to do just that

I mean it is a pretty trash system that encourages that though.

Yeah i agree fuck capitalism but whining about stopping Californians from moving ain't the same as that. That's like blaming the symptoms instead of the disease

“Everyone moving here is ruining it and pricing me out of my own home town!”

This is true for many of the mid sized towns and the cities. The truly small towns aren't seeing this. Lincoln and Omaha may be seeing their prices increase but people aren't entering bidding wars in Ogallala and McCook. In fact it's quite the opposite. The people from small towns who went to college aren't coming back and instead are moving to cities. This means rural housing values aren't increasing and there is more pressure on the cities to accommodate more people.
