Time for my favorite Game of Thrones quote:

> Jon Snow: What did father use to say? Everything before the word "but" is horse sh|t.

"I would support something like this [...] but fortunately it's only theoretical, because there are enough NIMBYs to make sure it has no chance of actually happening"

But I know the feeling, that was me one year ago: "I would love to get a Covid vaccine right away, but (fortunately) there are people with higher priorities who have to get it (and field test it) first". But I have to mention that I did get vaccinated eventually...

Yeah, I can see what you are saying here, but there are some of us around here who support more housing. My reaction was based primarily in just how intense and varied the no growth sentiment is in this town. It honestly takes me aback at times. City council meetings can be surreal.

Alas, people who support more housing, only support it if building it requires no tearing down existing structures, no allocating more land for building, and no conversion of existing buildings.

In other words, people support more housing, as long as it doesn't require more housing. You're free to build anywhere, as long as you leave everywhere untouched.

Well, since none of what you just wrote is true of my position, I'm not sure who precisely you are talking about.
