A law prohibiting new housing is different than groups fighting specific projects. For the most part people are fine with housing projects...as long as they are in someone else's neighborhood. That's how we end up with the vast majority of people being against a law prohibiting new housing and then also NIMBYing every new housing project.
- AnthonyMouse 4y agoThis is where the checks and balances thing comes in. Maybe your local housing prohibition has to be approved at the state level. Which for most local ordinances is a rubber stamp, or just automatically happens if no one asks for a vote, because what do people in Oakland care about parking rules in San Diego? But if you're trying to NIMBY housing development, and a lot of people are against a law prohibiting new housing development, you can't have one.
