The places where housing is the most expensive are the same places where people who cannot afford housing are forced to commute from somewhere else. Commuters don't get to vote in the place where they work; they have to vote where they live.

Property owners are the only ones with the right to put up election signs. Property owners are far more politically connected than non-owners.
