I’m going to give you the benefit of the doubt and take your claims at face value. Now I have a question for you: how does that change the fact that this person used their scads of cash to overrule a (mostly) democratic process?

If his complaints had been the same as yours, and he had said “this housing isn’t affordable and it should be,” I think a lot of people would have agreed with him. But his objections were not the same as yours, he just didn’t want to share space with anyone but he wasn’t willing to just buy the land himself.
