NIMBYs are the reason housing prices don’t seem rational. When supply can’t increase any increase in demand will cause prices to shoot up. When an area is controlled by nimbys speculation becomes easy.

But NIMBYs don’t exist to keep the quality of life high in an area — they exist as a cartel working to keep property values high.
