locals were complaining about all the Bay Area people moving up there and driving the rent up

My family moved from CA to the Seattle area in the '90s and people complained about the same damn things.

The other day I was talking to my Dad about this, after I sent him an article saying that the average price of a house in Seattle (or maybe King County) hit about $600,000, but in SF / SV it was $1.2 million. He observed that Seattle-area prices were also half of Bay Area prices twenty years ago, and that it's pretty funny that the ratio has remained about the same.
