- BitwiseFool 5y ago>"Asking people if they want the poor in their wealthy neighborhood" I'm generally anti-NIMBY but this kind of sentiment is a dramatic oversimplification. I really don't think we should immediately frame this as a rich people are afraid of poor people problem. For one thing, it doesn't explain why NIMBYism is also present in poor and working class neighborhoods.
