The people who don't want rapid growth are the people who have experienced it. The people who do want growth are the ones who haven't experienced it. This seems unlikely to be a coincidence.

Job growth without commensurate growth in housing stock is a recipe for misery. The NIMBYs did it to themselves.

If the majority of people in an area experienced the negative effects of rapid growth -- doesn't that imply most of them caused the growth by moving there in the first place?
