Sure, people want to live here, but why is it wrong to allow people some self-determination and allow them to decide who and how can build stuff, even if they are dumb and/or claim/want contradictory things?
- epistasis 7y agoIt's one thing to allow some of "self" determination, which would probably be a good thing if it was done. However, that's not what the current process is, it's most definitely note self determination. It's set up to allow a tiny number of people to say "no" to things. It doesn't poll the public to determine what to do. This one-sided input process has predictable results, with massive damage to the general interests of people who live in an area.
- pas 7y agoAren't there more people who are able to vote and rent in SF/LA/BayArea, than who have property there? To me it seems the problem is that the braindead NIMBYs successfully co-opted the locals with property, thanks to the property tax boogeyman.
