As someone that's been a moderately successful transplant in many cities, I have seen local populations point the fingers at very arbitrary reasons or people for why people can't afford anything. The commonalities between these populations is that they seems to neglect general macroeconomic trends, as well as local zoning gaffs. Makes it almost impossible for me to empathize if everyone is so far off the mark. Fortunately, being a melanin-infused minority I get to blend in to the left side of the inequality bell curve. So, that's a nice privilege in the populist uprising. "Gotta watch out for those gentrifiers I'll let you know if I see any! I can't believe anyone would have the audacity to pay the listed prices or leases set by landlords already here." A foreign buyer ban will also miss the mark.
