Why dish in NIMBYs so hard? They are just homeowners looking out for their main, probably only, investment. Citizens from all income levels, from the richest to the poorest, have joined the NIMBY ranks. It is not just the richest neighborhoods that do not want public housing in their neighborhoods, likewise the poorest neighborhoods do not want to see their neighborhood generified into higher rent apartments and condos. NIMBYs exist world wide.
