Aside from costs, some people still live in communities (lucky bastards) where their neighbors take care of their kids and go to their churches etc. To strip them from that community is to break the social ties that constitute their survival.
Goddamn your yimbys are saints, I only wish I could get mine to even discuss high density. Try out luxury condos should be built to enable the wealthy to abandon their current places and leave them vacant for others with lower income, bringing rents down!
It’s like the stupidest hermit crab theory of housing you could possibly imagine.
The number of luxury condos in my city that are left empty to keep rents high is sickening :agony:
high-density housing
What kind of HDH, cheap subsidized rent housing easily accesible for poor people, or fucking luxury condos?
Is there any proof that they’re building cheap subsidized HDH there?
I’m not sure, but he still doesn’t count as a villain because he does eventually have a win win situation where he leaves and takes the house with him
I assumed the real issue with NIMBYism is people who will actively oppose stuff like safe injection sites, homeless shelters, or community centers, not people who don't sell their house to a developer?
Yeah this is like saying a black neighborhood opposing a freeway being driven right through their houses are NIMBYs. Context matters.
Thinking about how in Star Wars, the Empire was actually the good guys cus they were just exploding planets to make way for new development.
- This person, probably.
iirc sometimes the projects were adapted so the people could still have access to their house, though not always
At least they went around, in America they just bulldozed right through black communities to build highways.
I live in a pretty small city and the working class/black district (now the bougie gentrifier district) was split from downtown by a highway. There's a single pedestrian bridge that's padlocked shut half the time. You have to take a car to get into town. 60 years ago, there were 2 tram lines that went from downtown to the neighborhoods that are now split off. That got torn out of the ground of course and they decided to just cut 10 feet off every building downtown to expand the road instead.
yeah uh, back in the jiang/hu days the government would often sponsor local criminals to come harass your house/location if you or your community didnt want to vacate for development for whatever reason
still happens in a lot of places
in the great universal struggle, i side with the paperclip-making planet-eating machine
Not in my backyard. A derogatory term for someone who opposes building, or other altercations to where they live. Usually because of concerns over their real estate prices or neighborhood character or whatever
To add to that: NIMBY opposition to certain developments only extends to their immediate surroundings, i.e. they'd oppose a new power plant if it's built in proximity to their property but not if it's built across town. Their resistance is inherently lacking solidarity and merely egoistic. They'd even condemn resistance to a development somewhere else that they'd oppose in their neighbourhood.
Is this sarcastic? How is a developer trying to eminent domain your home "proletarian urbanism" lmao
NIMBYs are people who oppose necessary and beneficial stuff they think will reduce land value close to their house, such as safe injection sites and affordable housing, not people who just don't want their damn home to be bulldozed, upending their entire life for a meager restitution because some bid developer wants to make a highway or fancy skyscrapers or whatever. That's just normal and good.
What is sarcasm?
It comes from ancient Greek and it is about tearing flesh apart.
Carl is a petite-bourgeois former slave owner,
His balloons were slaves?
Also those guys in suits building condos were agents of the state housing bureau?
Didn’t say it was cool.
Also it may have been an animal sanctuary that gave tours to fund itself.
Probably cuz a lot condo developers look like spooky MiB dudes.
Freeza was based off Japanese real estate developers.
Wouldn't he be a NIMBY by blocking all the development around him or am I being too literal?
Specifically stuff that might slightly negatively effect your property value while raising the quality of life for everyone else. Like solar/wind energy, homeless shelters, public housing, food pantrys, safe injection sites, needle exchanges, etc.
Standing your ground against eminent domain enacted for the profit of a corporation is a noble act.
Not to mention a house that he and his wife rebuilt and lived in for 40 years. Not just some random house he bought. And in the end, he did move.
UP is the fucking stupidest Pixar movie.
They suck in general but at least the one about the chef rat and the super hero family were kinda fun.
they really should've just left the prologue as a standalone short
It’s great wym
Of course it’s stupid it’s a fun little movie about an old man and a Boy Scout and a talking dog fighting a Nazi blimp man
Some of them are good, idk what to tell you if you can watch Coco without crying
They're generally good up until the good dinosaur/cars 2. Now it's up in the air whether they'll be good or not but when they're good they really are good like soul and coco.
The shape of the guys face in soul horrified me.
I liked Coco okay, I guess, it was kinda goofy. I don’t know how Mexicans feel about this weird ass head canon about how their afterlife works tho.
