Communities using zoning laws and rules around nature preservation to push back against construction projects is nothing new. Try to build any sort of public structure next to a gated neighborhood and a week later you'll be sitting there being told you have to do an ecological survey because there are endangered turtles in the "wetlands" that you totally thought was just an open field.

They can have housing, but they have to pay above market price so it raises their property values.

I wish I could say that youre exaggerating, but up the street from me there is a fence with a sign that says no trespassing endangered flies.

Surprised, usually Cali is all for supporting the poor and homeless. Affordable housing does not mean section 8 but decently priced home.

We love animals, Woodside Mayor Dick Brown told The Almanac local newspaper, which first reported the towns decision. Every house thats built is one more acre taken away from [mountain lions] habitat. Where are they going to go? Pretty soon well have nothing but asphalt and no animals or birds.

that sounds like a great idea, though i'm unsure how duplexes would hurt the lions specifically. why not just bulldoze all the houses and return the area to nature?

Best way to reduce the amount of land used on housing is to support building vertically!

Yeah, gotta take out all the rich people's homes if they're so concerned.

NIMBY = "Not in my back yard"

It's an attitude where you support things as long as they don't personally effect you. So things like supporting nuclear power, as long as one isn't built near your neighborhood. Or supporting an increase in immigration, as long as none of them live in your gated community. Or supporting doing more for the homeless, as long as they're not allowed to set up a tent city outside your office. Etc....
