Do you think Art Agnos would notice how bad this sounds if he heard, “How big do we want our country to be and for whom?” ? https://twitter.com/ericmkingsbury/status/990292391373422592 …

I’ve been saying it for a while. So much in common between NIMBYs and Build the Wall people. Eventually the extremes wrap around and meet.

At the core, it’s anti-immigration, just at the local level.

This is an oversimplification. One is trying to build a wall to keep one culture out while still letting in wealthy white immigrants. The other is trying to limit wealthy newcomers and focus on maintaining and expanding areas of affordability.

A fantastic ideal, but the only way we know of that would enable that would be if housing were free. Barring that, you’re choosing one system over another that inherently introduces limits. Today, we limit by wealth. Affordable housing adds another variable.

You’re not actually limiting by wealth. The barriers to housing actually make the existing housing stock even more of a scarce ultra-luxury commodity that is only accessible to an even more limited, narrow and wealthier class of people than the alternative.

If the city had actually bothered to invest in better transit and more housing capacity over the last forty years, we would have a more diverse region than we have today.
