At least if the homeowner sells they get the windfall.

I was living in a neighborhood that gentrified and my rent went up a “life altering” amount. I had to move to a different, shittier neighborhood and had nothing to show for it.

If you have a 401k you are probably a holder of Tesla stock since it’s in the index funds.

This is one of the bigger problems with the current stock market where investment decisions for a huge amount of the capital in the market is being made mechanically by looking only at the market capitalization of the company. We end up in a hyperreal situation where if you pump hard enough on a stock you can basically “manifest” a blue-chip label on it and then leverage everyone’s retirement accounts to keep it
