But what is the solution? Forbid people from buying houses? It wasn’t so long ago that people were complaining that the area was disinvested and nobody could sell or leave. Now industry is being added and there’s interest in housing and that’s a problem too. It just reads to me as bitter nimbyism.

A severe distortion of the local housing market for low and middle-income Pennsylvanians by wealthy out-of-staters for vacation homes and investment Airbnb's represents a serious problem for local working class folks.

It's not the "bitter nimbyism" you're trying to make it out to be.

Oh I agree about Airbnb. It’s a scourge. But what I’m seeing in this thread is that anyone not from here is the enemy. New Yorkers daring to relocate to NEPA and so on.
