I'm speaking only to overall property values, because that's the argument I was replying to. I don't care about your preferences.

I am responding to your first sentence, which is "Upzoning is a win-win for existing homeowners", which is not true in general.

It is true in the sense that I meant it, about property values.

Nor do you apparently care about the fact that "NIMBYs worry that the mere existence of nearby multifamily will decrease their home value" is a false stereotype.

A NIMBY straight-up told you that their motivations are about lifestyle and not money and your response is "I don't care about your preferences".
