pricing out
Making unaffordable deliberately
Pricing out means making something unaffordable for certain people through high prices.
Housing markets price out longtime residents when costs rise beyond their means: Young families are being priced out of the neighborhood.
The phrase can also mean calculating a total cost: We're pricing out the renovation before deciding.
