I think you are missing the point. When you say "priced out of their home" what you actually mean is that they have become so fabulously wealthy that they can no longer "afford" a 1% tax on that massive wealth. And even that is just a made up fabricated story, because nearly everywhere has abatement programs to delay taxes or decrease taxes for those who can't afford to pay their property taxes.
Further, they unjustly accumulated that wealth by keeping people out of an area that is in huge demand. They are hoarding a scarce resource, to the detriment of sooooo many people. They didn't create that land, and they didn't create that wealth, and they are standing in the way of many many many times more people's right to take part in society.
This sort of person you are idolizing is actually a greedy villian, working to make the world a worse place merely so they can avoid looking at apartments or meeting new people.
The land became valuable because they are there and have done a good job maintaining their community. It's collective action of the community that has made it a good place to be.
Maintaining the community is what ensures that value remains. The rea question is why all these other people aren't willing to go build a valuable community
I'm talking about poor people who can no longer afford to live in their home or apartment due to gentrification. I don't know who you're talking about.
