This situation isn't even specific to country borders, it's no different than what has happened throughout the American Midwest and Southwest post-pandemic as swathes of Californians sold their falling down shack in Palo Alto for $2M and bought houses in cash overbidding by $100-$200k in cities where a house averages $250k to buy (meaning often the winning bid was double the asking price). It's MASSIVELY driven up the cost of housing in many of these cities.
Gentrification and NIMBYISM are in constant battle throughout the world, and this is true both in inter-state, intra-state, and international economic relationships.
