How interesting. Presumably as enlightened examples of the opposite of California governance, they wouldn't have any such thing as a housing crisis caused by popularity.

Or... it could be they've had the luxury of not having popular-place problems thus far, and like everyone else are suddenly discovering that actual governance is hard.

They came here to escape California governance, I guess, but in the end just made life worse for everyone else living here.

My property taxes have more than doubled over the last decade.

NIMBYs are everywhere while the population is always growing. Did you think you would escape it, or just want to blame city slickers who like a roof over their head?

If you're defending NIMBYism with this post, it fails on many fronts.
