One of the biggest NIMBY backlashes I've ever seen. 18,000 signatures collected in Cincinnati to oppose a mid-rise apartment building that would replace a surface parking lot in a neighborhood that already has mid-rise buildings. local12.com/news/local/-...

Yeah I am 0% surprised at this result from Hyde Park. They're so exclusionary they have a separate Friends of the Library org for their public library branch

Blue cities need to get their shit together. This isn't a game.

They need to just start doing shit and let the NIMBYs cry or move. There are PLENTY of people wanting to live in Blue cities right now and there is a lack of not just affordable housing but housing in general. Let the fucking NIMBYs move to the middle of nowhere to have no neighbors.

Doesn't that sort of clustering just enable more GOP gerrymanders?

Let me guess. The development will cause traffic and gentrification. The hilarious thing g is the idea that you can gentrify a parking lot.

18,000 signatures would be getting the signature of every resident in the census tract and neighboring ones. Clearly this NIMBY petition spilled far past reasonable boundaries and morphed into some anti-evil sentiment at large
