I don't think it's accurate to classify property owners in some of the world's most expensive real-estate markets as "the bottom rungs of society."
And my experience with local city council and school board sessions aren't that different. It's usually the same sorts of people. They're not billionaires, but they're usually pretty materially comfortable. I'd categorize them as being "dream hoarder" types. (https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2017/06/the-hoa...)
