Regular people own the overwhelming majority of homes, and they love every dollar of increase.

I love those green and saffron signs about welcoming refugees that they put in the neighborhoods where you can't touch property for under $2M. I want stickers I can slap on those signs that say "...if you can afford this neighborhood, lol."
