Federal contribution to the things you mentioned is rather low in NIMBY areas, so NIMBYs will be more than happy to pay it. Seriously, do the math. The federal funds do not magically appear out of nowhere, they are collected from the very same NIMBYs, and it’s only a small fraction of their total federal tax bill.

Thsoe suburbs that decided they wanted to not be a part of Los Angeles received a very rude awakening as to what stuff really costs.
- xyzzyz 5y agoOkay, so how much the stuff really costs? As I said, the NIMBYs are already paying for all this stuff. The federal money is not a charity of some third parties, it’s what the very same people paid in taxes in the first place.
