I mean yea, youre a nimby then.

I am against your views because it increases the price of living for everyone, for your own specific benefit.

My own specific benefit as sleeping at night, wow, I sure feel bad now, thank you kind redditor for opening my eyes!

  • Yes, and you are the reason everytime I went to buy a house in the neighborhood I was renting in, the value doubled.

    If you want to be selfish feel free to be openly selfish, but don't be surprised when people like me respond in kind.

    I am down for property taxes 10xing to fund building homes because of people like you.

    >My own specific benefit as sleeping at night...

    invest in ear plugs

    • I don't see anything wrong with being selfish but your comment still made me giggle: you want me to bend over to provide your specific benefit or you will call me bad words.

  • Very specific problem to me = zoning laws and higher prices for everyone. You could be a victim of crystal stores allowing homeless camps on their lot, act now!

    • It's not a "very specific problem", it's a general problem - commercial property next to residential.

This is why I openly call myself a NIMBY and don’t feel bad about it. I paid good money for the house, my family lives there, and I expect the neighborhood to stay clean and safe. Damn right, not in my backyard.
