IMHO, East side real estate is CHEAP. And where I come from, you are a fool not to buy good cheap real estate.
As far as pricing the market away from locals, I don't buy into that. Wages aren't bad, and business opportunities are everywhere. What is lacking (and not just on the BI) is young people willing to work hard enough and sacrifice to get into that starter home. Burning weed and playing video games will only get you so far.
