Why would you be happy.  You eliminate what many consider to be the American dream of a sfh in a suburban community.[/quote]

Generally, the people who define the American dream as owning a one-unit detached house with a yard, in a suburb, are Realtors.[/quote]
And the tens of millions of people living in one-unit detached houses with a yard, in a suburb.[/quote]

Really? And here I thought the American dream was about opportunity and freedom, not specific kinds of real estate.[/quote]

The American Dream, according to NIMBY morons, is having a single family home and being allowed to do whatever you want on your property, while simultaneously demanding a say in what your neighbors do with their property, because the American Dream only applies to the single specific vision they have in their own head.

It's about expectations.  The people who wanted to live in SFH neighborhoods moved to SFH neighborhoods with the expectation that they would remain SFH neighborhoods. East county progressives hate SFH neighborhoods and are using thrive to destroy them.  The people who love their SFH neighborhoods are pushing back.[/quote]
They don’t hate SFH neighborhoods. They love their own, but are not happy because they are jealous that other people may be doing better than them. So they are trying to protect and improve their own neighborhoods (eg purposefully gentrifying Silver Spring and trying to move out the poor Blacks and immigrants - primarily Ethiopians) while simultaneously damaging others, in the name of equity![/quote]
