NIMBYs and racists? Lol
More like people with influence and money.
The poors living in east and south van are subject to rezoning with almost no consultation. People on the west side have a small group complaining to city council and they get their way.
The density in my neighborhood has gone up 100 fold with the rezoning of these street level commercial turning into 4-6 storey residential with commercial below was pushed through with no consultation and just forcibly rezone as “community planning”
It’s like anything, if you’ve got money, none of this is going to affect you. The middle class just gets driven deeper to the low end because now the govt. outlaws the things many of the upper class used as vessels for wealth
