NIMBYs upset and confused to find out that homeless and low income people don’t just disappear when you gentrify a city.

When I think of NIMBYs I think of rich folk. I feel like the Worcester blue line when I think of folks who want to refuse these sorta things for unhoused folks.

The insidious thing about NIMBYism is how prevalent it is even among people who claim to want to help these people. As Phil Ochs once said about liberals, "Three degrees to the left of center in the good times, three degrees to the right of center if it affects them personally."
