Central Coast NIMBYs: America's Densest Resistance
Apparently the craziest people online right now aren't the AI discourse crowd or the 2020 hold-outs. It's Central Coast NIMBYs.
Southern France, scaled to the same footprint, no Marseille included: 4x the population density, objectively beautiful, zero skyscrapers.
Not asking for Hong Kong. Just asking for normal human civilization.
Urbanism Twitter is talking about SLO right now. In my view, the most wasted land in America. The two counties have perfect weather, beautiful coastal scenery...and the population density of Belarus or Missouri, growing 1/3 slower than US as a whole since 2000. Madness. 1/2
