When someone who favors new development in theory opposes a specific project near where they live, we call them a NIMBY.[qh]
有些人在理论上支持新的开发，但却反对在他们居住地附近开发特定项目，我们称这类人为邻避主义者。[qh]
NIMBYism is regularly characterized as a case of revealed preferences: Talk is cheap, and support for policies in the abstract is worthless. [qh]

Voting for a candidate who champions pro-housing policies is one thing; agreeing to new development in your neighborhood is another.[qh]

Conflicting desires do not by themselves prove hypocrisy, however.[qh]

Some people really do want to see more housing in general, even if they don’t want construction next door. [qh]

The problem is that the local institutions charged with land-use decisions are attuned to parochial complaints, not large-scale needs.[qh]
问题在于，负责土地使用决策的地方机构只听到了小范围的诉求，而忽视了大规模的需求。[qh]
The level of government at which we choose to resolve a conflict shapes public opinion and the eventual outcome. [qh]
我们选择解决冲突的政府级别会影响公众舆论和最终结果。[qh]
The same question posed at a town hall, at a county-council meeting, in the governor’s office, or by Congress will not be answered the same way in each venue. [qh]
在市政厅、县议会会议、州长办公室、国会提出相同的问题，因场所不同，得到的回答也不同。[qh]
The tools available, the norms of debate, and the architecture of accountability change drastically from place to place. [qh]
可用工具、辩论准则以及问责制的架构也因地而异。[qh]
Americans believe that housing is a local issue. [qh]

And it is a local issue. But it is also a regional issue, a state issue, and a national issue. [qh]
住房是一个地方问题。但住房也是一个地区的问题，一个州的问题，一个国家的问题。[qh]
By restricting the debate to the hyperlocal level, we’ve blocked out our big-picture values.[qh]
通过将辩论限制在特定小区域内，我们已经屏蔽了全局观。[qh]
Across metro areas, in states led by Democrats and Republicans alike, the same pattern emerges: Local governments decide what gets built and where, and they use that power to ban multifamily housing, entrench economic segregation, and perpetuate a national affordability crisis.[qh]
无论是在民主党还是共和党领导的州，城市区域都出现了同样的模式：地方政府决定在哪里建造什么，然后利用这种权力禁止多户住宅建设，巩固经济隔离，使全国买不起房的危机永久化。[qh]
