Opponents of new housing resent being called NIMBYs because it makes them sound selfish. Understandable. They prefer to be called BIMBYs "Better in My Backyard". That is a subterfuge. They say No to every proposal and do not suggest anything in its place. sbs.com.au/news/article/yimb…

THIS 👏 IS 👏 WHY 👏YOUR 👏 VOICES 👏 MATTER!!! YIMBYs who are speaking up to support new housing are proving to our leaders that abundant housing is what the people want! We're setting the tone for pro-housing champions and growing a movement to change the status quo.

A huge mistake people make with trams is seeing them as very expensive buses rather than as inexpensive metros, which is what they are. Smart cities get this.
