> a peek into the bureaucrat's vision for America

It’s not the bureaucrats vision. That attributes the individuals happily working myopically in their pigeonholes with far to much omniscience.

Second, it’s not a future tense vision of America. It’s come to pass with single family zoning and rampant HOAs and sterile “luxury” high rises.




I'm a big YIMBY but the source of this problem is not NIMBYism.


There are relevant parallels: anyone can say no and no-one can definitively say yes, everyone is forced into the same living situation rather than allowed to choose one for themselves, a sense of control for the sake of control...


Grandparent post can't be from a YIMBY if it's complaining about high rises. That's left-NIMBYism.
