Improving the city will erase the city's identity as a bad place. This is bad, actually.

You jest, but I've seen this used once by a NIMBY on an online forum. I was discussing how California is prime real estate and by refusing to build, that's just begging for a housing crisis. Their response?

"We can't build or else we will double in population." as if California is intentionally sucking to scare people off. You want to alienate people? California's social equality is more than enough to alienate 99.999% of the population AND it does a fine job in gatekeeping people who don't matter.

or else we’ll double in population

I strongly suspect the person saying this would be ok with the population doubling if it was all white ppl
