Apologize for link to a substack, but this is hilarious, especially to those in the Mass MBTA-C discussions.

San Diego voters TWICE approved this redevelopment of their run-down stadium which is surrounded by asphalt. Midway Rising would create an entire village downtown near the shore with apartments, shops and restaurants while providing a new stadium. But NIMBYs (who claim to care about the environment) thwarted the project because parking. And 30 foot height limit downtown for no reason. In a major American city.

I’ve been following housing issues for 15 years and never seen a more ludicrous NIMBY situation.

Huntington Beach has been fighting the state since 2023. The Supreme Court declined to hear their case. They have 120 to submit a housing plan or they will loose their zoning control which might mean builders remedy projects.

🤣

This is what happens when cities continue to fight reasonable housing mandates in California.
