maybe some cities flourishing and getting more expensive and pricing out poorer residents who have to move to cheaper areas is inevitable and well worth the cost?

the "more expensive" part isn't at all inevitable, plenty of dense and popular cities around the world have managed to avoid it

Or they could just build more housing and then the city both flourishes and doesn’t get more expensive

Pricing out the service workers (teachers, fireman, etc) is not good for any community.

Actually, it is not good that many service workers in SF and Silicon Valley have to commute 90+ minutes each way
