[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why can't YIMBYs be happy living in their crowded apartment buildings in NoMa or Navy Yard, or whatever the new hotspot is, and walking to whatever fancy restaurants and gyms make them happy, and leave the rest of us alone? It always feels like, deep down, they are miserable and want to spread that misery to everyone.[/quote]

I don't interact with the YIMBYs who have infested Arlington but I have observed them -- and even smelled them at County Board meetings as they seem to hate deodorant as much as they hate single family zoning.   One of their leaders is a sanctimonious trust fund baby who lives in a McMansion overlooking a County park but pontificates about why people do not deserve single family homes. The rest seem to have low paying  jobs working for the usual types of non profits and are angry and miserable that their $200K degree from Oberlin means they can only rent a two bedroom apartment in Clarendon. They are unusually strident and are quite pleased with themselves.

If they do want a revolution, I will happily take my place in the front lines with a musket while they throw endless reams of plans, working papers, schemes, and skittles at me.

Bring it on![/quote]
