I mean maybe you’re speaking to a different audience, but from my perspective your message seems heavy on expletives and short on the sort of cause-and-effect I’m used to, i.e. the reason you are incorrect is because of x,y,z

I doubt you care to talk more, but for posterity I will ask a few questions that I’d expect you to share.

To what degree do homeowners owe a duty of support to non-homeowners in their pursuit of homeownership?

Do you want to live in a society where a younger version of yourself could no longer buy a home?

How does it make you feel to see other people enjoy the financial and physical security of owning their home?

More specifically, NIMBY is a pejorative used to pressure homeowners into allowing construction near their homes which they otherwise would not allow. It’s no different from calling someone a pussy because you want them to do something risky and they’re scared.

So whether it’s low income housing, a casino, or a power plant, it’s important to recognize that anyone using a pejorative to pressure you into agreeing with them is not your friend and probably not well informed on the subject being discussed.
