Um, in exactly the same way that tourists prefering their interests to be prioritized is also 'egoism', right? Or property owners preferring their incomes to be maximized, just like renters preferring their rents to be minimized. So?
I'm not a "market fundamentalist" by a long shot, but markets generally do a pretty good job of balancing various interests like this. They're a lot better in a case like this than the government attempting to decide how many units must be available for which uses.
