Given they were policy problems, fleeing economists was pretty accurate. I left the city and am looking at leaving the province over the chaos of what are all government caused problems with no path to getting out of the way for people to solve them. Not a lot of Austrians or Chicago School economists working in policy these days.

Which policy problems and what was the result? It sounds like lots of people and wealth and investment is moving in, driving up prices.

The change is unmanaged. The question is whether they are starting businesses that provide some semblance of the quality of life and opportunity people from here had planned to make for themselves or not, and whether the government has just sold the locals out for foreign political donations. We don't solve inequality by importing more of it.
