You are absolutely right: NIMBY.
Apparently due to some reasons local people do not want to live in a beehive.
Go and build somewhere else. California is a large state with lots of unoccupied land.
- opportune 6y agoI’m saying the problem needs to be addressed in good faith, because NIMBY people will put up nonsensical arguments like other people living in small apartments or needing to build new schools (to support an expanding tax base...) as problems rather than the actual problems they have motivating them to politically oppose urbanization
- AlexTWithBeard 6y agoYou are solving the wrong problem. No matter how hard we try there's no way to squeeze all the United States in SF. May be instead just make other places livable?

Surely we can find a middle ground somewhere in the name of access to opportunity and in the name resolving our severe housing shortage.
