you're right. better to let the housing crisis continue than to support a solution that slightly inconveniences me.

Yes, I think about it this way as well. In general.

Until it happens to impact me personally.

I’m not proud of it, but I haven’t seen anyone who doesn’t react the same way. Nobody like to give up good things that they already have (especially if they paid $1M+ for it.)

People are assholes (you and me included). That's why we have so many laws (and lawsuits) about this kind of thing.

[TomV1971]

Exactly. :-)

And it’s great progress if people at least realize that they are, or would be in the same situation as that Berkeley neighborhood.
