Don't forget they're saying these things for valid reasons, and a balance has to be struck. For example, (this is not a perfect rule, just a rough draft) if you can only build an apartment block next to another apartment block, high-density areas can exist radiating outwards from existing centers (where you'd want high density and where people who want to live in high density want to live). Or you can build one surrounded by farmland, probably. Apparently that's popular in America though I don't understand why.
- inglor_cz 1y agoMy experience with the Czech NIMBY crowd is that when I talk to them directly, they are quite open about "we don't want anything to change and we don't like new people". More constructive reasons like "there is not enough buses to the area" can be usually solved by reasonable compromise, but this sort of intense conservatism "wait until I am dead, then build something" cannot.
