While I’d argue that NIMBYism is generally bad… it is definitely bad in a world where so many cannot even afford to live.
Build more affordable housing by any means necessary.
It’s important to avoid the trap of advocating against expanding the supply of available housing because the new construction is not affordable (aka left-NIMBYism).
An ideal state would be overwhelming amounts of government-built and operated apartments, but we really cannot allow perfect being the enemy of good here.
