Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Study on ways to fight Nimbyism

[Alan O'Hashi (adoecos]

Ann - These are some good data. Nonetheless, there's no arguing the facts, but 
"lowering property values" is dog whistle noise heard by NIMBY neighbors who 
see high density affordable housing residents as having no pride, are lazy, own 
too many cars and all the other stereotypes surrounding race and class. 
Regardless of the data, It is important that we drill down and confront 
deeply-held reasons for NIMBY neighbor objections.
