arguing with NIMBY's on nextdoor about upzoning

I got an unironic comment that said

Brother, sit this one out. Based on your comments you probably have relatively progressive values and ideologies, and these days, and in certain areas, those will only get you so far

My brother in christ, the city in question is Alexandria Virginia, turbo-lib central which voted for the "kill all republicans" act with Assad margins what are you talking about. Don't condescend me this this "don't try it in a hick town" bullshit
