I bet no one votes to raise their own income taxes for just themselves. And yet, nearly everyone votes to raise everyone elses because it's supposedly for the common good.

Cost effective housing is for the common good to.

I support more development in my neighborhood.

Actually, in California what people did was vote to raise the property tax rates of people moving into the state without raising their own. That's Prop 13 in a nutshell.

I support more development in your neighborhood too.
