[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh no how dare we let landowners use the land they bought and paid for the way they want!

My god, what if they do something crazy like build tall buildings full of housing in an area that has a massive housing shortage?![/quote]

Oh how dare we RE agents lie to buyers about the character of the neighborhood and zoning to increase demand and line our pockets?

Oh how dare we developers lie to communities when we apply for permits, rarely, if ever, bringing to life the rosy vision we present when asking for exemptions and almost always creating more difficult conditions during construction than promised?

Oh how dare we both work behind the scenes with county and state authorities to change the rules to our financial favor, with limited public view and input, never allowing for mitigation of the negative impacts borne by residents to be attached as a condition?

Oh how dare we elected and appointed representatives of those residents court all of this to gain campaign contributions and indirect emolument through family/friends, investments and business associates?

And, more to the point, how dare residents, whose lives would be considerably disrupted from the effects of the above either in staying or leaving, object when there are alternate and less disruptive means available to society to achieve the noble ends bandied about as justification for it all?[/quote]

How dare some private company (homebuilders) make a profit? You do understand that some "evil developer" built your house and *GASP* made money doing so?

You NIMBYs are ridiculous.

There already is public input, you NIMBY. It's called elections. What you want is special treatment. Well get over it, you get none.[/quote]

Well, I guess that we should just sit back and enjoy trumps work.  He was elected.

*shrug*[/quote]

Trump is on your NIMBY side, numbskull.[/quote]

I’m going to guess that you are the author of a couple of these posts, so we can address them all at once.  There are only like 5 of you, so I’m sure you can pass the message on if I am incorrect.

You are very falsely equating people thinking critically about zoning issues with being NIMBY, though NIMBY is certainly not the insult that you seem to think it is.

You are also very falsely equating people questioning your methods and motives with being Trump supporters.

This is child level logic that you are trying to apply here, and I am embarrassed for you.  I’m sorry.

You are really, REALLY, being insane in thinking that we are in the minority.

I know, I know, there is always an excuse why your magical and mythical support can’t ever be demonstrated except for through GGW hack push polls.   I can’t even list all of the excuses the pathetic YIMBYs invent. It’s the same reason that they will never, ever, commit to putting the initiatives on a ballot, it’s it’s because your support is pretty
limited to a bunch of dorky white sim city obsessed bike riding nerds. That’s what you have, and no one cares, and that’s why you lose.

Plus, the initiatives are just incorrect.  We already know.

So cry cry on the bus, ok?[/quote]
