This is the point that gets me the most. They donMt own anything 99% of the time outside their specific lot. They are basically saying "My investment gives me dominion over that which I have invested $0 because it happens to border MUH propert"

Just appease me, non-investor and non-owner of whatever property is in question. I bet they circumcize their children as a matter of policy too. Cuz why should anyone else but me decide what happens to another person's body. After all, I sort of "own" them too"

Sick!

Edit: have these folks ever heard of buying surrounding lots or like, I dunno, buying options or whatever stuff pertains to this? The biggest NIMBY/Narcissitic trait is "I get everything, don't even have to pay! You get nothing! Im taking all your blocks and I refuse to share, here on the daycare mat!" ridiculous. Can't wait till they're all pallitaive and finally decisions can be made externally and with EVERYONEs best interest at heart, not just your chronically selfish nonsense.

I regret the use of "you/you" pronouns, at no point was I referring to you. Was more of a rhetorical fluorish gone amok
I don't know why you lump NIMBY with Boomer. I think 99% of people don't want new constructions next to their properties.
What is your assessment outside of the unfortunate Boomer mis-reference?
Your argument had some juice up until the "boomer" slur. Are we still doing that?
K, that was admittedly excessive. My life experience up to now (btw definitely Boomers+Xers who display identical entitlement and offensive conduct) What say now?
Why do folks downvote mea culpas. Seems incredibly obtuse
