The Great American Single-Family Home Problem

Of course there's no contract like that. What there is instead is a democratic process for the residents of the city to guide and shape how their city evolves and improves.

You're watching it play out, but some seem to not like that the residents of the city have a greater say than the "not residents" of the city. I find that perfectly natural, normal, and desirable.

No, what you’re seeing is a bunch of greed. Residents in cities like Berkeley and Palo Alto love the economic boom the tech companies are causing, but they aren’t willing to shoulder the responsibility that the boom brings. So they are screwing over their neighboring cities forcing the burden on them.

Or the greed of people who want the big salaries of SV but don't want to pay the big rents that go along with it. See, that word is loaded and works both ways.
