I don't think anyone argues against the idea that people should belong to the community in which they're voting. But the question is, how fine or coarse grained of a "community" should be in charge of land use. For instance, someone who stays unemployed in a poor region passing up jobs in Seattle or San Francisco because of housing shortages is arguably just as affected as home owners that have to deal with greater density. But only the latter gets to decide local zoning laws.
