# Scott Chelette The issue isn't rich people wanting to live with other...

Scott Chelette The issue isn't rich people wanting to live with other rich people.  The issue is rich people using state power to suppress _other_ people from building affordable housing.  NIMBY zoning laws are hypocritical for both the left and the right.  The simple answer is for both sides to respect private property rights and individual choice, and allow people to build where they please.
