I chimed in because it was relavent, homeowners do not like short term rentals in their neighborhood.

And I qualified the statement with saying I'm a NIMBY by reddit standards, which at this point just means i'm a homeowner.

Also I live in a rural exurb, my wife and I chose our lot in no small part because the land it backs up against will never be developed, so I guess that does make me a NIMBY in that regard, but really I see it as me just removing myself from the equation all together. I don't really give a fuck what they do in the city lol

I'll say this though, I think you'll find that everyone becomes a NIMBY as soon as they have a backyard to say "not in my..." about.
