“Some neighborhoods that are full of tech bros were once full of Irish immigrants.”
It’s okay to say Southie. Lol
“Neighborhoods change, that’s what they do. No neighborhood has remained static in this city, ever.”
Try getting the goddamn NIMBYs to understand this.

Even in the burbs, I can't stand the "I grew up here so I matter more". Nah, you're just one vote guy.

I’ve had arguments on here and on the Massachusetts sub with suburban NIMBYs who literally think that when a person buys property that there is a “reasonable expectation” that things won’t ever radically change.
Yeah, no. There isn’t. You own your property, and nobody else’s.

And even then, there is a whole bunch of asterisks attached to owning property.

So many people will look down at anti-immigration conservatives and then say that an ethnic group or community basically "owns" a neighborhood through some amorphous moral right. At the end of the day, free movement of people had pros and cons, but it's the same basic principle at stake.
