Reply to comment by MrsBeansAppleSnaps in Cape Elizabeth residents push back against law to provide affordable housing by Gary_busey_syndrome

The best part for me is all the rainbow and ukraine flags flying in cape. They all want justice and equality in ethereal terms, but when it comes to their doorstep they fight tooth and nail to maintain the system that perpetuates inequality.

I like to call these types of people “assholes”

Think globally, take no action locally. I believe that is the saying.

Maybe I’m thinking of: Think globally, protect property values locally because I forgot to save for retirement and my house is my only asset

I hate Cape like every right-thinking American but the assholes quoted in this article do not represent the opinions of everyone who lives there.

I am sure there is some overlap of the Prideful Ukrainians and the anti-ADU people but it is not 100%

Just to be clear, the best thing is to fly those flags AND accept the ADUs. Not one or the other.

Everyone needs to stop being dicks to each other because they don't like/don't understand what their neighbor is doing. Motherfuckers would be so much happier if they minded their own business. Let me be clear, if what you are doing is causing hate towards another, you're a fucking asshole.

Does it occur to anyone that the people flying those flags didn’t vote against affordable housing? Do any of the people in this thread even know what the vote breakdown was?

Virtue signalling so their fellow NIMBY neighbors know they're oh so caring people
