I don't understand the enmity towards renters. The issue is not if the person sleeping under the roof owns or rents, but rather, the density of units, given the infrastructure. Every dwelling was built to house someone, pay their share of the amenities and infrastructure costs, and in return for that, use the amenities and infrastructure.
If things are getting too crowded, it is not the fault of the homeowner, or the renter, but rather, the fault of whoever overbuilt. It is inconsistent to bemoan the presence of renters, and the overcrowding of amenities due to renters, and not feel betrayed by the shift from single family use to more densely populated apartment complexes.
