Which strikes me as bizarre, first because it requires that fallacious assumption and secondly because it requires mapping NIMBY onto the right wing. Which arguably tracks with what one would naturally expect from free-associating words like "conservative", but the evidence doesn't show me any strong correlations except possibly in the opposite direction (considering the evidence of new housing starts vs. local voting patterns).

Yeah, I find NIMBY vs YIMBY arguments interesting because they're almost entirely orthogonal to traditional left vs right. This alignment chart is the best I've seen; for me you can just circle the whole bottom center: https://www.reddit.com/r/transit/comments/1dz4ssk/where_are_...
