Solution: more development in rich neighborhoods
- saudioger 9y agoWhich isn't going to happen if the residents have a say because the rich are the worst offenders when it comes to NIMBYism. Multiple residents of the North End of Boston went to a public meeting to complain about the addition of handicapped ramps on brick sidewalks because it would damage the historic authenticity of the neighborhood. The Cape of Massachusetts couldn't get an offshore windfarm because locals complained about how it would negatively impact the view.
