How would they vote at all? I’m not aware of any local council that grants votes based upon tax dollars paid or acreage. It’s one person one vote for actual residents.
Now lobby dollars are another story. But renters can fix that by actually voting.
- lostapathy 4y agoThey can run/fund NIMBY groups that encourage people to vote their way. Local to me, we've had a few causes pop up with surprisingly well-run NIMBY efforts opposing them in recent years. The amount of money raised and the signs and slogans are way too good to be the product of the actual locals who speak out on behalf of these groups - somebody else is clearly funding them and doing some marketing.

I don't know of any local councils that grant local votes to anyone -- they vote themselves. This should spark an idea of how rich people's dollars outweigh poor people's input. They only have to convince half of the council to vote one way. This can be done through wining and dining, sending "experts" to make presentations, making promises, and so on.
