I call them PINO NOIRs: Progressive In Name Only, NIMBY-Only In Reality.
- pessimizer 4y agoIt's weird to frame wealthy people who divide their time between mocking the locals claims to be trying to maintain the livability of their neighborhoods and talking about how disgusting the homeless are as the litmus test for being progressive.
- hackerlight 4y agoIt only sounds weird when you intentionally frame it euphemistically like that. The people we are mocking are the selfish people who put their own desire to reduce subjective eyesores ahead of the need to address the country's housing crisis.
- MrMan 4y agoThere is no housing crisis in the country overall.

- throwayyy479087 4y agoLivability being defined as a total lack of anyone making under $300k a year. Most livable places I’ve lived have been diverse walkable neighborhoods , which NIMBYs call a nightmare. I think a bunch of strip malls and Targets are a nightmare.

It's funny, because the former is also the most accessible kind of neighborhood for people of all ages and abilities. It doesn't matter if little Johnny or grandma can't drive, they can just walk to the grocery store to run errands or the coffee shop to get some coffee; they're fully independent.
- screye 4y agoI'm stealing that.
- UIUC_06 4y agoGood one. Can you work in a "T" after PINO?
