> State governments need to pass laws forcing cities to allow housing, or this will continue to just get worse and worse.

Honestly, for places like this, they just need to pass laws forbidding anyone except bona fide residents of the community from purchasing a home in this area.

Already lived there full time for 5 years? Have a job offer at a recognized business in the area? Legitimate family connection? Etc? You're good.

Out-of-town millionaire? Have multiple homes across the country/world? Are an LLC? Get lost.

Sure it would prevent existing residents from cashing in on a boom, but who cares about that? I don't.
