The problem is so clear, but the NIMBYs still vote and increased interest rates may make this worse.

- innagadadavida 4y agoNIMBYs aren’t making this better for sure. But the bigger problem is with local policies that allow unlimited commercial real estate and there is a ton of vacancies right now. However these townships don’t want to rezone them for residential use or to at least temporarily house the homeless. Instead they just blame and the get pitchforks for the folks that either got - they came a long long time ago or for the honest hard working folks that paid for it - property taxes and all and hence expect something in return. Please educate people and vote for rezoning empty commercial real estate blight - this is the one that will have the highest impact. Even offices that are occupied have 10-15 occupancy rate because of covid.
