Is "NIMPYism" a product of investment, in that homeowners are incentived to protect their property value? I would argue that burgeoning or prospective homeowners are passive proponents of derisive action, in respect to your argument, but I hesitate to boil it down to local, popular opinion.
My understanding is that there is a predisposition in play that is influenced by a variety of factors, one including an absolute number of the law from superior influence, but another (leaning towards your point on a grander scale) is a cultural osmosis.
Would you immediately assume that a random, home-owning voter is contributing to this detriment, that there is an overplay of asymmetrical beauracracy, or that there is some factor of elements including the aforementioned interests? I would appreciate your argument (or any others'), in good faith, if I've not represented the full spectrum.
