our land use is largely predicated on the notion that residents stay in the same place for years - but the reality is that there is fairly constant turnover - even for homeowners. here's wallingford, in just the last 24 months. 
on just these 13 single family zoned blocks, 36 households of have moved in 36 months
there are only about 180 homes on these blocks. that's 20% of the neighborhood that has changed, in just 3 years.
change is constant. but in these zones, only wealthier people can move in

even in broadmoor
in laurelhurst
i mean just look at queen anne
every one of these is someone moving in to the neighborhood.
single family zoning means that if you're wealthy enough, you can live here.
in QA, homeowners have held up housing affordable to those that can't buy million dollar homes for years

most of these sales?
they're well off homeowners selling to other well off households.
the hundreds of millions of dollars in these sales go unnoticed, but they're just as much a form of speculation, as for profit development. replete w/ nice tax breaks, on top of it.
