In other words, propagandize them?

Maybe people are capable to seeing things for themselves.

Except that no one builds their opinions in a vacuum. There are a lot of truths and viewpoints that we wouldn't consider without outside influence.

False NIMBY narratives run deep.

This goes nowhere, except towards censorship. Maybe the NIMBYs did hear the YIMBYs arguments but didn't buy them.

I don’t understand what you’re talking about. How could sharing views and facts could lead towards censorship?


well, you said "False NIMBY narratives run deep." There's a worldwide move towards censoring "misinformation" which certainly sounds like what some people want. Do those "false NIMBY narratives" need to be suppressed?

If you just want to provide other views, then carry on.


If people could infer everything themselves there would be no need for educational material. Just sit a child down at an intersection and tell them to observe.

Why make this comment? Maybe I'm capable of seeing things in the OP's comment for myself.


It's not an explanation of OP; it's a characterization. You're free to disagree with it.
