This is basically what owners and politicians think and act on, but ignores the fact that in many cases renters are already the people that make up their district, because the gulf between owning and renting is so vast, and nearly every owner subsidizes their mortgage or property taxes by renting their basement or something. In my neighborhood, I'm quite sure that the overwhelming majority of the population are either renters and owner's kids. The minority have control over their shelter, many of those aren't even shy about asking for cash to dodge taxes while collecting pensions and old age security, and it's disgusting. Renters make up a significant enough voting segment, but no matter what we're voting for people who actively try to screw us in order to create more wealth for the wealthy. It's more common than not in my social circle that anyone under the age of 40 is renting from an individual who owns a house on the comically, needlessly large plots that make up the neighborhood.
