At a meeting about whether we're going to build housing for young families like us. An elderly NIMBY got mad at @alanakinrich.medsky.social for 'being distracting' by breastfeeding our baby in the reserved seats in the front. In case you're wondering who they think should be part of this process.

Everyone runs around talking about preserving the historic nature of our neighborhoods. We should bring back the historically accurate architecture of places like San Francisco and Berkeley. Which is basically, build a box and slap some cheap plaster doodads on the front.

And what do you know, the local 'neighborhood preservationist' lives in a $4 million home that is assessed at less than $735K and pays about half as much property taxes as I do.

The name 'Elmwood Zoning' makes it sound like it's something official but it's clearly just some NIMBY posting from home.

It's crazy that we have this incredible concert venue in the midst of Berkeley but we severely limit the number of shows to appease a handful of NIMBYs who apparently weren't aware that there was a university here when they bought their homes. Thousands of people vs dozens.
