Why would you think that? I have heard plenty of people express this opinion, at public meetings, in real life.

I go to more than my share of public meetings and have not heard this view espoused a single time. Show me a transcript from a government meeting in the Washington metropolitan area where someone advocates disenfranchising renters.

What government meetings do you go to that have published transcripts?

Yes, the YIMBYs are having a big pro Missing Middle or Expanded Hosing Options rally for Affordable Housing or Attainable Housing in Arlington on Saturday. Many of the people who support MM or EHO in Arlington are younger renters who think Arlington should make it possible for them to have a $1.3 M townhouse in a neighborhood zoned for predominantly white schools rather than a $1.3 M townhouses in a neighborhood where the schools are more diverse.

Because zoning impacts the housing prices that have contributed to their situation...

Yeah, that's for if you want to watch the Montgomery County Council. There are a lot of meetings in Montgomery County where members of the public speak that aren't Montgomery County Council meetings.

So you are claiming that there are “government meetings” that are not Council meetings where people are saying that renters should not be allowed the right to vote but those meetings are not recorded? Right…………

What meetings are those?

Community association meetings, HOA meetings, public outreach meetings, meet-the-candidate meetings, etc. People have also said various jaw-dropping things on the record at formal public hearings, of course.
