Homeowners, particularly SFH owners in SF, tend to be very politically active in trying to block attempts at developing high density transit oriented housing. This is especially the case if there is the possibly of said housing being made available to lower income residents.
Homeownership certainly doesn't make someone evil, however, if in addition to owning a home they also attempt to make it difficult for subsequent residents to own a home, all the while taking advantage of the generous subsidies that Prop 13 provides and reaping the benefits of RE appreciation when it's time to sell, I think it's fair to call them out on it.
