A lot of left/right politics comes down to renting vs owning.
If you rent an apartment in a city, 1/4 to 1/2 of your monthly income goes to your landlord. That money just goes away, doesn't build up, doesn't buy you anything beyond being allowed to have a place to live.

Your neighbour is two feet away from you, so rules are important. If you play music at 2am, I can't sleep. If you take a risk and burn down your home, my home is also burnt down. I may not like or follow the rules, but I understand why they're important.

Compare&contrast with owning a few acres out in the country. Sure, maybe you pay a mortgage, but that money is still yours, it's going into a big piggybank.
The money you pay that goes to nowhere is your property tax, which is the government.

And if you want to build a shed out behind your house or risk starting a fire, it doesn't hurt anyone else. The only people complaining would have to be trespassing to even see the problem in the first place. You might like and follow the rules, but they aren't important.

Renters resent rich people and corporations, and might break the rules, but want restrictions to exist.
Owners resent taxes and the government, and might obey the rules, but want as few restrictions as possible.

That's why the world is slowly drifting left - it's not wealthy/educated "elites" (You think the rich are voting to raise their own taxes?) The world is drifting left because, for the past few centuries, more and more of the population lives in cities.

You put 50 city-dwellers in a theater, you've got 49 tenants and 1 landlord. You don't wanna show a story that has one person cheering and 49 booing, do you? You show a story with a hero tenant and a villain landlord.
That's not Hollywood lefty bias, that's just money talking.
