This is infuriating
The same people who complain about homelessness and pretend to care about the poor are the ones to call the building of new housing """gentrification"""
Endless committees to decide if someone can build new housing is just absurd. (Hello California)
This is why the building of new homes should _not_ be a matter of vote. Just like deciding your career or in which companies to invest. The overall public should _not_ get a say in what private contractors build, unless in absolutely extreme cases such as when pollution is involved (noise/air..). Just like McDonald's does not get a say in whether a new Burger King should open, homeowners should not get a say in whether new housing should be built. No matter how much they pretend ""it'll push poor out of cities!!!1!""
