Reply to comment by George4Mayor86 in Seaport Residents Cheer After Judge Halts Construction of Skyscraper; Developer Says ‘Just a Temporary Roadblock’ by kapuasuite

I imagine that a good number of those people live in surrounding skyscrapers and are more concerned with losing their view which will also reduce the value of their homes. I doubt they care at all about the historic area of the seaport.

I live in the seaport area and I can guarantee you that no one here gives a damn about literally anything else other than their own bank account balance and ensuring that when they wake up, there are the minimum number of people walking around this neighborhood.

They would all describe themselves as socially liberal and fiscally conservative but all that translates to is fucking over anyone who wasn’t born wealthy.

Guarantee you this is it. Pure NIMBYSM at its core. More affordable housing is a good thing.
