I was recently a NIMBY. Let me explain. People from California sell their homes for millions and come here and offer way over asking price so we are priced out. Natives cannot afford to live here now. In 2020 they fucked me out of a house I wanted, even after I offered well over asking. Now they want to put 450 homes behind the neighborhood where I finally got a house. The roads are already damn near impassible. The state refuses to allow us to charge the developer an impact fee. We're running out of water. Our water bills just went up 149%. Real estate has flown through the roof. We do not have enough infrastructure, enough schools, and an ambulance might take 45 min. Traffic is ridiculous. Some person from Cali was in Reddit asking locals for advice, and they attacked her so bad she said never mind, I'm absolutely not moving there.
Honestly, we're not bad people. We're just sick if it. For some reason people in high COL places romanticize this area and it's ruining everything. Like damn, how much more do things have to be to accommodate all these people?
The corporations are the ones making you feel guilty, especially if the infrastructure isn't there. That's how they tried it (and won) in Seattle. They're all like, build, build, build, and then covid hit. The transit takes hours if the person can't afford to live in the city (see my bullet points). There are a lot of grey areas and people like you. The system is broken and they're blaming the home owners who don't want to live in a fucked up area. The CEOs don't care because they're money hoarders and living in gated communities somewhere.
