    Typically it’s the NIMBY crowd who’s been most fiercely opposed to things like immigration and avoid conversations like “where should they live?”. They get so centered around traffic or noise concerns near their SFU houses. When I talk NIMBY, I’m talking about the old boomers that stack city council meetings to help overturn zoning decisions.

    I think what you’re saying is in solidarity with what I am. White, straight, liberal NIMBY’s are wolves in sheep’s clothing, extoling DEI and social justice virtues while they reject notions of change as soon as it makes any impact whatsoever on streets near their own neighborhoods.
