Do you not understand how zoning works?

I swear you people think that upzoning means that someone comes by with a bulldozer and forces you to move out of your house so they can knock it down.

Upzoning doesn’t mean eminent domain.

Upzoning means that when someone else purchases the property, neither you, nor any other NIMBY can tell them what they can and cannot build on their property.

Again, if you don’t want anything ever getting built in your precious suburb, feel free to buy up all the property in your neighborhood.
