I rent my apartment. I know that I might have to move. The people that own the building might want to do something else with it and since they own it that's their choice.

Single family homeowners own their own homes. It can't get sold out from underneath them. But they don't own the plots next store or across the street. If their happiness with their living situation is dependent on those plots having the same buildings on them then they need to buy those plots too. Then they get to decide what happens to them.

A homeowner NIMBYite is exactly the same as a renter that agitates for imposing rent control.
