This happened in CT also. Locals are being out bid by mostly people from the city and hedge funders. Driving up the cost of housing. I know when I retire, I won't be able to afford anything in the town I grew up in and lived my whole life. It used to be a small fishing town when I was growing up. (I live in SE Ct. on the shore) Now it is high priced rents and high-priced houses for sale. Not that small town New England feel any more.

Northeast NJ as well. Remote workers got tired of paying Manhattan rents and moved across the river. Rent was already out of control before that point.
