    Right, when people buy a house they think they are also buying a neighborhood. Which is odd.https://twitter.com/jdcmedlock/status/1509926620580130821 …

    I still think NIMBYs genuinely conceive of property rights as extending beyond the property line to include neighborhood amenities. An expansive, not restrictive view of private property https://twitter.com/dangainor/status/1509908123963867144 …

        I'm not sure odd is an accurate descriptor. Houses (or apts) are generally sold as part of the neighborhood. You can disagree with the approach, but the feeling doesn't come out of nowhere.

        Applies to immigration too. They think they bought the whole country.

        You said “odd,” I think you mean “usual.”

        Maybe they just believe that they should have a voice wrt their own community? The one they live in? Pay taxes in? Why is this odd to you?

        They should absolutely have a say in garbage collection and street paving, which takes place on common property. They should get input into factories and toxic waste dumps that may affect their property. Whether another landowner puts up an apartment complex isn't their business.

        location is factored into the price. The "better" the location - like a better school district - the higher the price will be.

        When buying a house, the neighborhood and quality of schools is usually part of the sales pitch.

        I actually think its a perfectly understandable viewpoint. The problem is that the consequences of this viewpoint for humanity have been and are disastrous.

        They are "buying into" the neighborhood. For example a smart home buyer knows if he's buying the cheapest house in an expensive neighborhood or an expensive house in a cheap neighborhood, etc
