OTOH, nimbyism sucks.
OTOH, having 4/6/8 new tinyhouses worth of neighbours and the streets filled with their cars sucks for many in the neighbourhood - so you'd expect them to resist, or at least ask the question. Where will the cars go?
The "pursuit of happiness" applies to all.
- JumpCrisscross 2y ago> you'd expect them to resist, or at least ask the question. Where will the cars go? Sounds like a streetside-parking regulation problem. Everyone asking questions every time someone wants to build anything is why we don’t build anymore. If we want to require parking we don’t get to complain about housing affordability.
- _carbyau_ 2y agoThe groups of people that "require parking" are largely different to the groups of people that "complain about housing affordability". It's no surprise that complex issues will have various factions arguing about "their happiness". It does seem like many countries are beyond the point of further conversation and need positive impactful action regarding housing affordability. Or even just any action at all so we can tell if it is the correct action...
- NewJazz 2y agoUh, no, there are plenty of people who complain about both affordability and availability of parking, sometimes in the same sentence.
