Internal migration controls. Maybe give everyone a passport. If you don't appeal to my particular tastes and biases, if I can make prejudiced judgements about you and put you into a box I don't like then you don't get in.
After all, you didn't build this place. I did. Well, people a long time ago did and I'm pretty sure they'd like me instead of you. Oh you did build something here? Well it doesn't count. We can't allow this place to change. It's perfect as is and you don't get to touch it.
I'm a Local and you are not allowed.
