NIMBYs say the darndest things.
For one thing, there’s a good chance her immigrant parents are landowners who came to the US with suitcases full of Kruggerands and a list of Florida congressmen who will hook them up with Federal construction contracts.
Second, does she know how speculation works? Those who speculate on real estate try to constrict supply in order to drive up prices of the properties that they own and want to sell at a profit.
Third, building mixed use commercial-residential properties and higher density housing creates more economic dynamism in a local area and causes single family homes to be more valuable. For example, homes in the suburbs of Los Angeles are worth a lot, but spacious single family homes close to the business districts in Hollywood, Downtown LA, and Century City, are worth even more.
lol facts. She just scared of all the those other brown folks that are beneath her.
