The issue with NIMBYism is it often builds structures around itself to insulate from change in the practices (local government incentives). Only top down mandates can break the cycle, but places like the US are not socialist enough to do that.

Incidentally all my immigrant friends and relatives who do NIMBY arguments also vote republican and supported Trump. For what it’s worth.

At the end of the day, we elect politicians based on which areas of our daily lives we want to be screwed over..it seems like... There are no winners amongst the voting, tax paying public.
