That even depends. In San Francisco, where there is extensive rent control, I've noticed even renters tend to also be extreme NIMBYs, because any change to the neighborhood might result in them losing their $500/month legacy rent-controlled unit.
- ponker 6y agoWhat changes to the neighborhood could cause that?
- FreakyT 6y agoI believe one possible sequence would go something like this: 1. The area that contains your rental unit is rezoned, allowing higher density 2. The current owner of the building you rent in is now able to sell the property to a developer interested in demolishing the building in favor of a taller, denser one 3. You get kicked out, and have to find an apartment at market rate (Your building being demolished is one of the few ways you can kick a tenant out in San Francisco IIRC)
