Amen. I follow this group in LA that is called(if I am not mistaken) Abundant Housing LA. These dudes are quite liberal, but we both agree that NIMBYs(among MANY other issues) are hurting people in the housing market.
I don't see the difference between a liberal SF resident not wanting a highrise built next to their house vs someone in Brookland Arkansas not wanting an apartment complex built because of traffic.
Both people might have legitimate concerns and they should be analyzed carefully, however, in the end we all know they usually end up just being either hyperbolic emotions towards change, density, or just plain old selfishness.
