My favorite part was when the thread went from "we're not stereotypes" to stereotyping libertarians. Good job boys! Then Sanchez showed up and changed the direction of the anger.
Anyway, yes they are hypocrites, just like Christians that drive around in $40k cars and live in $200k houses.
Where I live, $200k isn't enough to buy you most one-bedroom apartments.
That's what happens when you treat cities like exclusive clubs rather than growing, evolving, organic conglomerations of human habitation.
Your $200k closet is because of NIMBYism, pure and simple. You got in, now it's your religious duty to prevent the next guy from getting in. And so it goes in progressive cities all across America (NYC, Seattle, SFO being the worst).
