That's how it is in the USA too. San Fran is the most salient and popular example of this. It's not limited to just wealthy here either. Almost every considers how something will "affect their property values." Oh, and it's not even like people use studies to determine how property values are effected. They literally just make shit up in their head, and if they think it will drive down property values, it's a veto. It's why things in the USA are the way they are. Anything not SFHs with big yards and 3 car garages are "bad for property values."
