Either ways my recommendation is to make a informed choice of NIMBY vs YIMBY. It appeared so far that NIMBY is winning and large number of people support NIMBY. This need not be because all these are evil people who oppose three points but might have legitimate reasons for their stand.

Make an informed choice rather than blindly picking sides.

Why don't you fill us in on what those reasons might be instead of making strawman arguments?

>A straw man is a form of argument and an informal fallacy based on giving the impression of refuting an opponent's argument, while actually refuting an argument that was not presented by that opponent.

I do not think strawman argument means what you think it means.

I am not even refuting YIMBY argument. I am suggesting that since there is a NIMBY group which has already been successfully achieving their goals and appears to be in minority on HN, everyone should spend some time understanding their arguments as well before supporting YIMBY. Informed choice is critical than mindless support.

I am not even trying to refute YIMBY here. I am only pointing out that HN might be an echo chamber to make an informed choice.

You can make the wrong choice for legitimate reasons as well as illegitimate ones.
