This has already happened in Mountain View. Last election the "renting" demographic managed to overthrow the entire city council, who previously had been controlled by the typical "raise home prices by blocking construction" homeowner interest group. The result has been the beginning of many new large multi-unit housing developments. Dense multistory condos and rowhouses near downtown are happening. Google's plan for office space was even rejected because it didn't have enough new housing units!
