He's talking about people like these idiots from California who blast into other places like Flagstaff, Arizona and Albuquerque, New Mexico, and smaller crappy towns in California and drive prices up through reckless speculation. It makes things tough for people who have to actually live in those places where the wages and jobs don't support the house prices that are thus artificially inflated. Then you have this cavalier "f**k you, I got mine" attitude from people who can and do walk away with profits from this sort of activity (see a bit of that on this board even). This really is not right when the subject of the speculation is a basic human necessity (shelter). Stocks aren't the same thing at all. And I am sure that when this all comes apart, this same group of people will be screaming for bailouts from the government or looking for someone to blame/sue for their own stupidity.
