If you want people to live in your neighborhood and not be "transient" (aka not homeowners), it might help to build enough houses to let them live in them. Although I don't know what being a homeowner has to do with being transient, as you can always sell the home again.

This kind of opinion being popular suggests many Americans would love it if we had a China-style hukou system; if you could forbid other Americans from moving to your town you'd never have to see a younger person again.
