Leftist NIMBY: Well… [Hand wave]
My dad has spent 40 years in the cemetery industry so there’s a lot funereal talk in my family. We’ve decided my tombstone should say “Nick never met a stranger.”

From Reagans assault on Unions, Wars and social cuts in the 90's, Bush's wars and Obamas seamless transition.

there is a growing liberal/left alliance around building more housing as evidenced by the fact that every NYC DSA member voted for City of Yes
This is a pretty easy sell because it's become much more true over the past decade and change.
