“Yes, build! After thorough community review, meeting highest environmental standards, with guaranteed affordability and no displacement of minority populations….”
I agree in principle, but there are people who call themselves "PHIMBY". PH stands for Public Housing, and they think that the State or the City should be allowed to build big, just not private developers
I saw a post the other day about how there would be no NIMBYs in leftist spaces, because those are all about community and cooperation. I'm pretty sure whoever said that is a "secret third thing" (NIMBY) who has never met people in leftist spaces.
I'm not a NIMBY. I support housing. I just think every project deserves a comprehensive review, a supplemental review, and a review of the review. Every proposal raises unique questions requiring another community input process.
