When someone who lives in another state and has no interest in the affairs of San Francisco tells me it's racist to build apartments in a Filipino neighborhood if those apartments would cast a shadow on a basketball court at sunset on the hottest days of the year, I have a really hard time coming up with a belief system to attribute to them that isn't obviously wrong. At the very least it seems like they don't have a very good idea of whether a person who's playing basketball in the hotter part of the day on the hottest day of the year would like some shade or not. If someone complains that we cannot build housing because there is not enough infrastructure and someone else complains that we cannot build additional infrastructure because the current residents do not need it, they may both have coherent belief systems, but some trouble is afoot that need not be.
