   Yesterday, I came across a peculiar public comment, signed by Laura Arrillaga-Andreessen and Marc Andreessen, vioIently opposing updating the Town of Atherton's proposal to make it possible to build multi-family housing in America's richest zip code.

   Reasonable. They don’t want low-SES striver immigrants moving in and lowering everyone else’s quality of life

   Sounds like hypocrisy to me, advocate public policy to build more housing except in my area.

    100%. abortion & NIMBYism are the tallest pillars of California hedonism & selfishness. The death of a little baby -> the death of the family -> the death of society. A throughgoing hatred of human life by people who call themselves “philanthropists”.

    In a civil society apparently we must rely on zoning to keep the poor out - how can the Chetty mechanism work then

    If the US wasn't flooded by H1bs / 'asylum seekers' there wouldn't be a major affordable housing issue.
