I was pushed out of the Bay Area by people moving in, which jacked up the prices. Those people who CHOOSE to move to the Bay Area and FORCE people out of the communities that they grew up in are the IMMORAL people (see how nebulous the moral impact your choices have on others can be?). Those people that purchase houses at more that 5% of the homes previous sale price are immoral, driving up the prices of homes with their wealth. So many immoral people in the Bay Area, but the grandmother that moved into a community once filled with cherry and apple orchards that are now clone homes and is just trying to maintain something of the community she put her life savings into living in is not, actually, a monster.

People have a right to move wherever they want. You don't have a right for things to not change. Grandma had a choice, make room for newcomers or price out kids and neighbors. Simple as that.

Housing prices were jacked up because more people moved in than there were houses to live in. The rich tech yuppies are gonna move where they want regardless, so either build enough housing to accommodate them or they will take over the existing housing. If you build, they won't have to kick anyone out
