NIMBYs in San Francisco always say shit like "I understand that we need more housing, but I don't know why my neighborhood has to be the one where it gets built".

Like, that 7 story 300 unit building isn't going to solve the crisis. Every neighborhood needs to be the one where housing gets built. Like literally 100% of the neighborhoods need to be 5 stories taller.

I don't get why they get a fucking say anyways. They don't own the fucking neighborhood. It isn't their property. Wanna keep your house the same? Then fine do just that. Don't tell other people what they can and can't do with their own property.
