[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This Fall, while Elrich was testifying [i]against[/i] the [u]University Boulevard Corridor Plan[/u] (stating "plan incentivizes the disappearance of existing naturally affordable housing” and that area residents and businesses were left out of the drafting process.") during a public hearing at Montgomery Blair High School in Silver Spring, [his testimony was interrupted by bee mascot Nimbee, which walked along the high school auditorium’s aisle playing music from a speaker and holding a sign that said “R.I.P. MY MarcMANSION. There goes the neighborhood.” Nimbee was escorted out.

Nimbee is a play on the acronym NIMBY, which stands for “not in my backyard.] [/quote]

Probably paid for by right-wing developers cosplaying as affordable housing concerned citizens with the intention of gaslighting gullible left-wing voters who want to be virtuous. [/quote]

This is not it. Many of us know the people behind Nimbee and they are progressive Dems.[/quote]

The PP described them perfectly — “gullible left-wing voters who want to be virtuous.”

The YIMBYs can never explain why we keep building apartment buildings everywhere yet prices never come down. And these buildings have tons of vacancies. Maybe they should reexamine why “build, build, build” is such a failure before screaming for more of it. [/quote]

There's a small but distinct possibility that people aren't sardines. [/quote]

Exactly. So what’s the metric that will tell us that we’ve built enough? Can any YIMBY tell us? Can the developers feed them an answer that at least sounds plausible?[/quote]
