I think what people want is less migration (both domestic and international) but that's not an option. Since it's the primary thing they want they're doing anything they can to get it including essentially destroying their own neighborhoods.

And then they complain (a lot) that their kids have to move away to afford housing.

They want to keep freedom of movement for themselves and restrict other people. Be careful what you vote for: a border keeping “those people” out sounds good until the day you are denied passage!

I'm already not allowed to just declare myself a Mexican citizen. We alone were unusual in allowing that and it turns out it was a mistake.
