Honest question, why does the finger of entitlement point toward people wanting to build more or live in a place instead of toward the people who feel entitled

Honest question, why does the finger of entitlement point toward people wanting to build more or live in a place instead of toward the people who feel entitled to keep their neighborhoods stagnant, or entitled to rising property values?
Who gets to point the finger of entitlement, and why?
- happytoexplain 2y agoYou say the question is honest, but your characterization of each side (neutral words for one side, "stagnant" for the other) implies an uncharitable bias. Regardless, there is not one finger - it is of course not that simple. People on both sides are entitled and people on both sides are the victims of entitlement. As for who gets to make accusations of entitlement - anybody. When two people make different claims about the spread of entitlement, that's just disagreement. You don't have to build up rules around it.
- kelseyfrog 2y agoIt's honest. I'm not trying to hide my bias. The rest of the response though attempts to "both-sides" the issue. The reality is that NIMBYs are wrong. That's just a fact of nature.
