Reply to comment by baxterstate in So, naive question but, how do we go about politically motivating housing costs? by [deleted]

Publicly shaming people that are expressing their opinion peacefully at a municipal meeting is not the way to win them over to your cause. I certainly may not agree with their NIMBYism, but I will defend their right to express their opinions. If I want to disagree, that's what my three minutes at the microphone are for.

Let people see for themselves who is causing the housing crisis. Reporting on it isn’t preventing you from expressing your opinion.

If you believe that expressing your opinion and having it appear on the 6pm news is bad, then there’s a flaw with your opinion.

We publicly shame people all the time for their opinions by simply showing it in broad daylight.
