priced out
Can't afford it
Priced out describes being unable to afford something due to rising costs, especially housing or a neighborhood: Young families are being priced out of the city.
The phrase implies exclusion by economic forces rather than explicit barriers—prices rise until certain buyers or renters can no longer compete.
