Reply to comment by markbass69420 in A Housing Plan for Manhattan’s Empty Spaces by psychothumbs

My point is you can’t just blanket throw out accusations of nimbyism at every critique of the city’s half-assed plan to expand housing. The housing market can’t sustain building only luxury apartments.

Then it's a shitty point.

Lmao this is exactly why it's fine to call anyone who says "I like housing, but...." a nimby. Vaguely complaining about "affordability" and "luxury" is NIMBY 101. You're literally the problem.

Just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean it’s shitty.

No, you’re the problem, because you have no plan for keeping housing affordable.

You're right. I don't like it and it's a shitty point.

Sure I do. I'm not the one adding a "but" at even the vague notion of building housing.
