NIMBYism by nature is selfishness. Its not about the city, the growth, the opportunities for a better urban area. It's all about me, me, me!
That's what they are concerned with. They could care less about others.
It's off putting, immoral, and hypocritical. They at one point had the opportunity to thrive in "X" city, why shouldn't others?
NIMBYS are not visionary, they are regressive. They do not think big. If it wasn't for visionaries, we'd still be here:
What we need is more housing. They are concerned with prices, yet lack of housing is causing that. Pissed off about some road construction, yet roads are needed to keep up with the traffic. They think they are doing good, but in their selfish "me" bubble, they do not see the bigger picture. They are on plan A,B,C, while the visionaries are on X,Y,Z.
