On housing, I no longer think that a fringe group of NIMBYs override the will of the majority. There have been attempts to use direct democracy ballot measures to go around the NIMBYs and elected representatives and allow building. Most of the time, these ballot measures fail. If NIMBYs were truly a fringe group, these ballot measures would succeed. Personally I would be in favor of a constitutional right to build to override these local restrictions. I think that would cause a lot of economic activity and growth due to all the construction which would happen. But I accept I am in the minority on the housing issue and I don't think it will ever happen. |
