I think we should change the name of this community to Nimby Valley. Al's is the perfect site for a small cluster of moderate income housing. Centrally located, discreet, a neighborhood unto itself. A more perfect site I cannot imagine. But the sound of locally jerking knees can be heard all the way to Windy Hill - not here, not near my property, not in my town. Well, it's the law, and if we let this option go a-glimmering, we'll deserve what we get instead.

What would happen if all of the cities in this state said "to hell with it! We're not going to do it. Sue us." You honestly think the state is going to do it? Or, will they change the law seeing that given the refusal by everyone to obey it, it is essentially unenforceable?
This law is socialist nonsense. No one has a right to have someone else pay for them to live wherever they want. I want to live in Atherton, where's my affordable housing so I can?
