Because the YIMBYs believe that everyone should be able have a brand new home inside the beltway, at a price that anyone can afford. They don’t want to live too far out because they want to be able to walk and bike to everything. And if they don’t get what they want, they’ll just whine and scream more loudly, and call you more names, until they do. |
And ither than the Agricultural reserve, where you are not allowed to build homes, where exactly is this open area in Montgomery County? |
Even if you could build homes there, how would people get to work? We're not going to raze neighborhoods to build highways. |
The natural evolution of a participation trophy society. We have been doing our youth a great disservice for decades by not making them earn things. Now they feel their very existence is all that is needed to have everything they want. |

There's plenty of afforable housing. Just not where the young white professionals want to live.

Yes that’s a good example. Or the vast majority of houses along Georgia Ave between forest glen and Wheaton are $500-$600k. A five minute drive to forest glen gets you a super easy metro commute downtown. With the very high salaries in this area, these prices are incredibly affordable. Elrich is absolutely right that the NIMBYs want to destroy these houses to build stuff that is more expensive. It’s stupid. |

Isn't Nimbee run by the Takoma Torch (parody website) guy? Haven't seen Nimbee post lately, I wonder what happened.
Anyway, Nimbee is an exercise in sarcasm. I think it's pretty funny. And yes, Elrich needs to retire instead of running for Council again. |
Didn't they do just that to make Clarksburg? |
| A funny thing about Nimbee is that it reminds about 50% of voters about a big issue they agree with on Marc Elrich on that differentiates Elrich from most of his opponents in a crowded field. |
YIMBYs live in a fantasy world where they think everyone agrees with them, so they actually think it’s really cool how the NIMBEE owns Marc Elrich. |
Olney -ish areas? |
In MoCo by Howard county line |
Yeah, that dope. He likes to stick it to people in Takoma Park, as if he actually lives there, but he doesn't. I'll listen to him when he is paying the sky high taxes of Takoma Park. |
