It doesn't really matter if only a few people do it. If it's a lot, I'm not convinced that it necessarily helps the area. In theory the influx of money should get distributed to the local market and ultimately be used to import more goods, but it's not that simple, especially if the influx is very sudden. Like, prior landowners win, but maybe just a small group (or the govt) controls the land rather than the actual people, so if the area is already dense then people are gonna get priced out.
I moved to Silicon Valley and lived there for 5 years, starting 2014. This was my example. It seemed like there were too many software engineers, myself included. Not enough people building houses or baking pizza. Everything tangible was under-supplied and overpriced. Yeah the economy was adjusting to it, but in 2020 it got jerked the other way.
