Yes, if you want to address the issue. Whether you should is another question. That is what the higher levels of government do. When the majority of citizens need something, you essentially use threat of violence to take it by force. You will never fix the "nimby problem" any other way.
- falcolas 3y ago> When the majority of citizens need something, you essentially use threat of violence to take it by force. Basically a rehash of colonialism (or something that rhymes with it). We want a resource that the existing people on the land (NIMBYs, this time) have, so we'll take it using force. It certainly rhymes with how we’ve done things in the past. And there's even a nifty phrase for it - the tyranny of the majority. And I've gotta ask... why do we "need" these specific parcels of land? Especially in a time where so much work can be done from anywhere in the US. There's plenty of land, why are we so eager to use force to take these highly specific parcels?

- themagician 3y agoWorked out well in areas like Hawaii and many of the US territories we took by force.
