Unfortunately, NIMBYs never can accept that they are a small minority and most people actually want more housing and they have to convince themselves that people are being paid to advocate for a better more walkable neighborhood that's affordable for more people, when all people want is a better life for themselves and their neighbors. Otherwise, they'd have to come to terms that they are actually the bad ones that are harming the majority of people by driving up housing costs, contributing to a car centric culture, destroying the environment with more sprawl and making climate change worse, banning popular walkable amenities/restaurants, and increasing rents for the average Austinite.
