QuoteThanks in part to activists like Flisrand and Edwards, Minneapolis just did away with the rules that gave single-family homes a stranglehold on nearly three-quarters of the city
Then there's this misguided quote:
QuoteIn other cities, NIMBYs—conservative "Not In My Back Yard" defenders of suburban-style living—often make alliances with left-wing critics of gentrification to choke off new supply.
They clearly don't know the Bay Area, where it is only very recently that "low density development" ceased to be a liberal cause celebre. Of course, it is "conservative" in the etymological sense of the word, but not really a right/left issue as I see it. It's a haves/have nots issue.
High density housing has its place, as long as the infrastructure is there to support it. For the most part we aren't seeing that here in the Bay Area.
