Considering how many people insist on their neighborhood staying the same, why haven't they thought long and hard about what it means to let more and more corporations settle in their city without building enough housing to match the new jobs?
They don't care. Ideally their community can reap the jobs, retail services, and tax base that businesses represent while pushing off housing demand and public services demand to somewhere else. California has an extreme version of this through Proposition 13 which eliminates increasing property tax revenue base as an incentive to approve housing construction. Thus housing is made a "cost center." The end result is essential workers have to commute an hour or more one way to work in the communities they can't afford to reside in.
