Since my wish clause is that things have to get better for the most people possible, if the poor people in small groups suffering manage to become 51% of the living humans then something would go wrong in the underwater city like it springs a massive leak killing all the ultra rich.

The massive leak of good nutrients gives some new food source to a species just managing to survive. This species with a food source thrives giving the opportunity for the small groups to coexist on the razor edge of survival as long as they live in harmony with the species.
