That actually strikes me as quite unlikely. I think that, generally speaking, a person living in a $1,500,000 property uses/benefits from services and infrastructure quite a bit more than a person living in a $500,000 property. Wealthy people may not often be direct users of services like police, transit, or affordable housing programs, etc, but they benefit indirectly front the social and economic stability that those services and programs provide.
