And the NIMBYs fight tooth and nail to prevent zoning changes because it might hurt their property value(s growth) which would make their home be less of an investment and just a residence.

fake news. Yes people have a ton of ideas of zoning, no they dont have PACs, no they dont have political party's and no not all of them are defending home values. Also its backwards new pricey places drive people's home prices up

There is a NIMBY issue. No one wants "affordable housing" in their neighborhood because their worried its going to disrupt their neighborhood. Lord forbid the neighborhood of 15 people doubles because someone wants to build apartments on sewer and water.

Again im not saying that we dont have no types, every state does. Its an odd focus at the moment because what is being built is $1800 rents. Im against people who dont want change for real affordable, hopefully public housing.
