We don't care if you think we're selfish. And because of us, someday there where still be nice places to live. We couldn't care less if you call us selfish.

@sirpieman300 yes, multi family homes would make some neighborhoods not as nice to live in. Every neighborhood has its own character and some aren't meant for multi-family homes. And everyone has the right to have the opportunity to strive to live in a single family home if they want and that is not anyone's right to take that away.

@sirpieman300 yeah, I do. In my neighborhood I do. By attending zoning meetings and reminding them of zoning policies and yes, my block goes often and represents our block and we're loud and we win, because we VOTE. So yeah I do have a say.

@sirpieman300 the law says they can't so they can't. And people who live in those neighborhoods will fight to the end to stop multi family homes and they win because elected officials can't win if they go against voters. That's democracy.

@sirpieman300 the people in those neighborhoods will fight to keep those multi family homes from being built. The politicians can't win if they go against voters. That's democracy. Sorry. The US IS a democracy.

@sirpieman300 so I imagine you don't support bans on suburban expansion since you believe people can do whatever they want with their land. I mean banning expansion is just nimbyism in another direction

@ianhomerpura8937 letting politicians know what we want is democracy not bribery

@sirpieman300 well at least you're consistent. I don't agree, but I respect that.
