I mean, I definitely think younger residents care about services like schools. I'm not sure older suburban NIMBYs care if their city budget gets slashed by 1/3 or more though.

Well see, that's my question. What are effective counters to that crowd, in that case? Or maybe they're not needed. Some people will never be convinced?

Not sure. Peninsula budgets are down double digits. Even if the prices don't make sense for even tech workers, many NIMBYs still have families, kids that they probably don't want to see leave the region.https://twitter.com/Amanda_Kass/status/1294320086505799680 …

ehhh, have been on enough Nextdoor threads, I think folks care more about their “neighborhood character” than their kids honestly, or just assume they can buy their kids a house or give their kids their house
