Mistakes cause and effect. NIMBYs don't want to increase construction costs, though they want to maximise the value of existing property.

- deelowe 8y agoI could see that. Homes that don't have this requirement will be more valuable over time.
- conanbatt 8y agoThe requirements to build it on new homes makes old homes more valuable because they have one less requirement. It makes already built homes relatively more valuable to new ones. Its a drop in the bucket of NIMBYism tho.
- jfrankamp 8y agoThis doesn't make sense. When you add an asset to one thing it doesn't mean that things without that asset go up in value. Are buyers like "oh you have a house with no solar pannels?! I want to pay more for that!"?
- conanbatt 8y ago"You have a house that doesnt require to build more solar panels? Great I did not want to pay and maintain that".
- jfrankamp 8y agoYou're suggesting that a house with solar panels pre-existing is a net burden on homeowners? I can't imagine that as a serious contention but I installed solar and every option had excellent warranty coverage that spanned owners, and the energy offset alone for an already installed system is an annuity worth thousands of dollars.
