alt Hacker NewsYeah, I find NIMBY vs YIMBY arguments interesting because they're almost entirely orthogonal to traditional left vs right. This alignment chart is the best I've seen; for me you can just circle the whole bottom center: https://www.reddit.com/r/transit/comments/1dz4ssk/where_are_...
At times like this I like to quote Chris Rock:
> Everyone wanna get down with a gang in America these days. "I'm liberal!" "I'm conservative!" Be a fucking person, ok? No good, decent person is all one thing. I got some shit I'm liberal about, and I got some shit I'm conservative about.
I think he's absolutely right, and that labeling things as "left" or "right" is a thought-terminating cliche that one should strive to avoid. What matters is the idea, not which faction people might stereotype it with.
