"Stedman grew up in Washington, moved to Burbank, Calif., and then moved back to the Puget Sound area in 1996. Like many of his clients, he wanted a better quality of life.

People relocating from California generally tell him they're seeking good schools, increased outdoor opportunities, more-affordable housing, cleaner air and a friendlier way of life."

But you would like to keep them all in LA and let them be congested.

The only answer I can think of are groups that buy up property to preseve green-space, etc.
