It would be cool if we could green light this type of infill housing without neighborhood input. I know that sounds bad, but all anyone ever says is “what has worked in other neighborhoods couldn’t possibly work in this particular neighborhood because of these very reasonable reasons specific to this special and unique place” and then nothing ever gets built and property owners sit back and watch their equity increase while people sleep in tents along the Seekonk.

the "NIMBY" phenomenon (not in my backyard) - opposition by residents to proposed developments in their local area; such residents are only opposing the development because it is close to them and that they would tolerate or support it if it were built farther away.

Oh, absolutely. I do like to see these weirdos waste their energy though. It’s cute they think they’re doing something!

So your thesis is:

“dysfunctional government doesn’t work”.

Um okay, thanks for the insight.

You're right, the world should just be a free for all with no laws or regulations, surely the good of humanity will lead us to an equitable and safe world.

Gotcha. Anarchy is the solution. Good luck with that.

Watch out, big brain libertarian over here about to tell us all how painfully mislead we are while communicating through an internet infrastructure developed, built, paid for and maintained by public funding.

I mean, if this is true, then surely it means we should eliminate single-family-only zoning and let people build what they want to without the no-good-very-bad-government getting in their way?
