The upper middle class is apparently a minority that is politically safe to do economic harm to.

Bingo. Working and middle class say, “fuck you, you’re rich.” Upper class says, “fuck you, only peasants get paid in wages/salary.”

Same with housing. The rich see single family homes as a good investment at any price. The poor see anything other than BMR as not for them. No one wants to house yuppies other than a constituency which is too privileged to have liberal credibility and too poor to leverage policies driven by the rich.
