What are some persuasive arguments that might convince NIMBYs to support rezoning their neighborhoods for higher density?
I.e. to build consensus, vs just name-calling?
- jessaustin 9y agoThis is a good thought, but one doubts that arguments against self-interest could ever have much persuasive force. NIMBYers like to talk about all the catastrophes that will ensue if the community changes, but the primary catastrophe on their minds is the one to their Zestimate®.
- Tempest1981 9y agoPeople I've talked to seem more concerned about traffic and congestion, parking, and Airbnb. They aren't planning on moving (ever), so their Zestimate seems irrelevant.
- Tempest1981 9y agoIf there were a way for them to cash out, and go somewhere "better", that might be attractive. OTOH, all of their friends probably still live nearby -- esp if they've been there for 20+ years. Tough to pick up and go. I'm trying to imagine an incentive.
