End to NIMBYism. Current homeowners should not be able to block new developments and encase a neighbourhood in amber.


It would need to apply to everyone. No more of this open up single family housing is this middle class area while protecting the parks / forest in the wealthy areas.

What about things like AirBnB? Limiting those is a form of NIMBYism as is limiting where factories and polluting buildings can be placed and/ran.


We want people to be housed in the places they want to live which is why we want to lessen restrictions on building.


why is everyone entitled to housing wherever they want to live?


they literally should be able to

that is the whole point of owning land and being a member of a community


Yeah, about that whole owning land thing... We might have made a wrong turn there (especially without land tax as a balancing mechanic)
