Cute but nonsense. People hate new construction for several other reasons, but primarily aesthetic. It usually increased density and changes the character of the neighborhood, and it brings in people of different class or race. Suburbs often have restrictions even on basement or garage apartments and density restrictions even in the town center near the commuter rail, because no one there wants people around who can’t afford a house, even if it’s their own kids.
The most insightful comment in there was incumbents homeowners outnumber those looking and like the high prices. The stupidest was the development they showed as “attractive”, I thought it was hideous.
