NIMBYs co-opting progressive language.
I’ve been here for over 2 years now, the politics here are WILD. Like who are all these do nothing groups, who seem to oppose anything and everything in town, primarily picture Main Street, and new housing development. It’s a disgrace that this small group seems to think they speak for this whole city.
Per my title this group we have a bunch of NIMBY’s, which includes the Western mass policy center and their unhinged rants, QR, and this rich guy who lost badly for mayor (who seems to have run simply to prevent housing development)
Do we have any real progressive/leftist groups in this town. Or just NIMBYs masquerading as leftists.
EDIT; One last thing. For a supposed groups of progressives, they seem very concerned about parking. Which seems odd to me, I have never not found parking in downtown. Also I think true progressives wouldn’t be that concerned about car parking.
