Hmmm...while there is definitely a difference between owners and renters, the article is talking in large part about the attitudes of renters: "But, among renters, attitudes toward affordable housing were quite different. While renters were less likely to support market-rate housing the closer it was located to their house, for affordable housing the result was reversed." The question is why renters did not support more upscale housing being built, and rejected the argument that any increase in housing would ultimately result in an increase in housing supply and thus (theoretically) a reduction in rent. The answer is, they don't believe that's the way it really happens, and they're correct not to believe it.
