I'm probably the dumbest person here, but I think the difference is that it is real, not a theory or what you hope happens. Most of the time when someone moves they vacate another place. That is a real thing that happens. It is different than hoping that the money at the top trickles down to employees or creates more jobs instead of being kept by the top level.
The issue with "trickle down" isn't just whether or not it's real. The issue is if there could be a more efficient way to directly impact people who need the help instead of hoping somewhere down the line people spending on wealthy people will help people who can't afford housing.
