[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

None of this is true for Arlington. There were arguments about the high school, but not because people didn’t want it in their backyard but because they wanted a school that was equivalent to the existing high schools like W-L, Yorktown and Wakefield and the County, per usual, wouldn’t do that. They forced all these other 1/2 a$$ options on people. I’d love to hear about the preschool and solar power that Arlington NIMBYs scrapped. I’ve lived here over twenty years. [/quote]

lol pathetic defense of blocking the HS. I bet you $10000 the same people who blocked the HS are now whining about not having enough school capacity for growth. [/quote]

Pathetic defense? You must be a delusional YIMBY renter without kids. Because you would care if your kid was zoned for a high school with a small turf field on the roof and no swimming pool or theater while kids at the other high schools have all of those things. I have no dog in this fight. I am a parent of high school student but I wouldn’t send them to APS. The County and their schools suck.[/quote]

Catch up. The NIMBYs blocked the a new APS HS (and now whine that the schools are too crowded for more housing.) [/quote]

It’s almost like you are purposely obtuse. I just explained why it was blocked. It’s YIMBY’s like you who can’t make a coherent argument that got us into this mess. [/quote]

They are MAGAs whether they realelize it or not.[/quote]

So true when you consider that the @YIMBY development lobby hires MAGA operatives who also work for Trump.[/quote]

Please, tell us ALL about your progressive bona fides. [/quote]

“Smart Growth” operatives who oppose affordable housing when working for Trump but at the same time push dense development that they claim, naturally, will bring “affordable” housing.  Whatever cynical nonsense sells the client’s dog food.   :roll:

[/quote]

That's why it's MAGA.  It's the bullying, lies, magical thinking, shamelessness, authoritarianism, othering, and closed thinking that is so distasteful.  Substanceless bad policy built on groupthink.  [/quote]
