Isn't there some sort of regulation on how much you can sell a house for, to at least regulate gentrification, and keep it from getting out of hand?
It sux that happened to you. But no, there are no laws that prevent people from selling their own properties for as much as they want, as long as buyers are willing to pay.

However I do think there are some larger developments in the neighborhood that have been required to include some "affordable" options, for lower-income buyers.
