[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nimbys are the worst. Seriously. You’re ruining this country. [/quote]

How is this ruining the country? Because people need to live in areas that comport with their affordability instead of the government trying to get everyone a prize at the expense of current homeowners? No one has a right to live in Arlington. It’s a very nice and expensive place.

I would love a house in Newport Beach. I can’t afford a $8M house so I don’t live there. [/quote]

because EVERYTHING that is a common good gets opposed by NIMBYs. Preschools, high schools, sidewalks, solar powed, waste treatment plants … [/quote]

The best thing for the common hood would be for people to understand that if you want something nice in this country you have to sacrifice and work your tail off.  In an era of student loan forgiveness, free housing for illegal immigrants, and countless other government giveaways it’s gotten totally out of control.  [/quote]

How does someone sacrifice and “work their tail off” for sidewalks and wind farms? That’s total disingenuous NIMBY bullsh*t. You don’t believe people need to work for themselves - if you did, you’d never try to legally block what they do with *their own property.* What you want is to control what happens to property and public spaces that you *never worked for*. So stfu about “hard work.”[/quote]

You are legally blocked from doing many, many, things with your own property, in the interest of the public good. This is just one of those.

*shrug*
