"For the first time in more than three decades, the population of San Diego County declined last year, joining other California coastal counties that are losing their allure as high housing prices drive home-buyers to more affordable regions."

That is what is supposed to happen when prices for a commodity get too high - people substitute and that lowers demand somewhat... if the government doesn't jump in to screw it up.
