One side says the border isn't a problem when it observably is and that inflation is under control when it is not.
The other side tells you that American cities are a "war zone" and that immigrants are eating dogs and cats off the street.
Both of these are the same.

At least it gives you something important to get up on your soapbox over.

What does nimbyism have to do with anything here?
The claim would be it's primarily NIMBY folks who prevent more construction and in more places, leading to landlords having more power and ability to make renters jump through such hoops.
If only it was that simple.
They still have assets in the state in question, which means they are very much reachable.
