I'm sure there are plenty of non-rich people in older homes who don't want to ruin the feel of their favorite neighborhoods. The current anointed opinion in the tech community is that the housing crisis is mostly caused by the rich trying to fence off the city for themselves, but I do wonder where that split is. Has anybody done an actual survey? I know that if I spent decades building my life in an idyllic city by the bay, you bet I would fight tooth and nail to keep gaudy highrises and corporate influence out of my area.
