How many homeowners also rent? I have a mortgage on a cabin in Idaho, but rent in California. I would vote to support the renters, because although I'm practically neutral, homeowners have at least 1 asset and are generally better off in wealth and savings.

Also, majority rule is probably not the relevant metric here (even if renters + owners were mutually exclusive sets). We have a long history of not going strictly with the majority.
