Why are people upset about housing homeless and undergrads?

Obviously people are upset because public space is being taken away for this.

Berkeley is a public school. They’re building government housing. But, it doesn’t matter to the groups who see outrage as a virtue and stall the progress they neverendingly clamor for.

Yes… That’s what NIMBYism is.

No NIMBYs only care about property values. That’s not what this is.

NIMBYs care about all sorts of things and are staunchly against progress and housing the young and poor alike. This is entirely NIMBYism dressed up in progressive aesthetics and language.
