I think the definition of NIMBY is deciding to change the character of other people's neighborhood because it will advance your political career. In the meantime, he gets to keep his big SFH. That is Jawando to the core. I'm not interested in duplexes and fourplexes in my neighborhood. So sue me.[/quote]

Where do people get the idea that they should have a say over housing types in their neighborhood? Where does this end? I'm not interested in hydrangeas in my neighborhood, so should I get to forbid my neighboring property owners from planting hydrangeas?[/quote]

If you buy in a neighorhood where your street is zoned single family and the council changes it so the density increases exponentially, wealthier taxpayers get tired and leave and your tax base declines. [/quote]

Top 50% in income pays 97% of all federal income tax revenues.  Bottom 50% pay just 3% of all federal income tax revenues.  Top 1% pay 38% of such revenues.  One might suggest that MoCo needs more residents from, say, the top 25%.  Driving them out of MoCo is stupid.  If one understands the budgets of CA and NY, one understands that those jurisdictions rely heavily on the top 1% for their state income tax revenues.  [/quote]
