Sounds like PDX?
Those spewing that diatribe just want more people who can afford to move here to come and displace those who made it this way but can't afford to live here now.
You will have to broaden your horizons, likely step up a bit and out of your comfort zone. Like it or not efbay is the biggest game around. The "Are you looking for one of these, efbay + CL finds" thread here is actually better but you need help to get there from here and we will and do help but it takes diligence, patience and wrangling to make it happen.
