NIMBYs: "Where's the democratic input??" The democratic input was the city election. If you don't like the land use decisions by a YIMBY council, organize to vote them out

@yinyang_yo_ By "democratic input" they mean "right to veto things I don't like even if they're lawfully done by democratically elected reps"
@yinyang_yo_ It shouldn't even be up to the city. Zoning and permits should be at the state level. Otherwise cities can be captured and pull that rug up from others. Your rights end at your property line.
@yinyang_yo_ They’re still free to ragetweet on here, though 🙂
@yinyang_yo_ This Yimby vs Nimby stuff is annoying. How do I clear it from my feed?
@yinyang_yo_ We need direct democracy as a countervailing force opposed to developer and landlord lobbying money.
@yinyang_yo_ The yimbys have right wing money good luck on not getting displaced plebs
