How can you be priced out of your own home? If you own it, you don't have to pay anything (unless you mean they cannot afford property taxes).

Your home can be seized by eminent domain as was done by the town of New London a few years back. They did so in order for a private developer to build more expensive housing on that property and generate higher property taxes for the city. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelo_v._City_of_New_London
