That's mentioned in the piece:
> Not-in-my-backyardism is a bipartisan sentiment, but because the largest American cities are populated and run by Democrats — many in states under complete Democratic control — this sort of nakedly exclusionary urban restrictionism is a particular shame of the left.
- JohnFen 7y ago> this sort of nakedly exclusionary urban restrictionism is a particular shame of the left. But that doesn't really address my point. Also, I disagree with that statement on two counts. First, "Democrat" and "liberal" are not synonyms, and second, it's not a "particular shame of the left". It's a shame of the wealthy and privileged. (Just to be clear, I'm not a Democrat)
