"Price someone out" means to make the price of something too high for an individual to purchase or afford. In this video, Kensington Market in Toronto was very popular for tourists, making the rental properties too expensive for artists to afford. Ex: We were priced out of apartments near the beach since tourists like to stay there. Ex: She was priced out of a new car.
