Have Your House And Rent It Too
Partial list of ways my neighbors like so, so many homeowners wish to have it both ways--despite the blatant contradictions. While many of these overlap with each other, they each are distinct.
They want high property values, but they also want affordability--just maybe not near them? Affordability for thee but not for me.
They want high property values, but they don't want "outside investors" much less "speculators!" to buy properties near them--presumably to rent them to undesirables (see below).
They want a thriving rental market, but they don't want anyone to rent near them.
They want diversity and inclusion, but they champion restrictions on development and rentals which make surrounding housing unaffordable and unavailable.
They want diversity and inclusion, but they wish to make choices for their neighbors thwarting their personal preferences.
They want the freedom to make their own choices about remodeling, etc., but they do not want an anything-goes policy for even their dearest neighbors. De gustibus non est disputandum for me; no way in hell for thee!
