Just what kind of outsiders are you so worried about?

The kind that come in, buy up property and evict every tenant living in said building, followed by raising prices such that no one who lived in the area previously could afford it.

This isn't about outsiders who move to a neighborhood with the goal of having a place to live, this is about investors walking into a neighborhood and viewing it as a financial opportunity.

So you DO mean right to place by address, when pressed about it. That's a pretty nativist impulse.
