No, they're exactly the same.
The "Nothing around me can change, fuck everyone who comes after me, you cannot take away what I have" mentality doesn't change whether you own property or rent.
Pace of change, rent control, ROFR at below market, and all the rhetoric around "demoviction luxury replacement" are fundamentally no different from SFH zoning, globally low property tax rates + property tax deferral, character retention, and the rhetoric around "megatowers crippling infrastructure and parking".
"Fuck everyone who comes after me, I got mine."
It's ladder pulling up behaviour, all of it. The sooner all of those toxic policies go the better.
