Context: I live in the suburbs and am... irritated by people who simultaneously decry the high cost of housing and / or that the solution to homelessness is to follow the example of nations that provide housing, but also seem to fight tooth and nail against any developments that occur near them
Certainly, advocating for a general policy does not mean you need to rubber stamp every development proposal, especially when developers are incentivized to get around any zoning restrictions they can, but this appears to be more NIMBY and less reasonable concern for any specific project.
Is there a reason someone should advocate for lower home prices / housing for the homeless while at the same time saying it would be inappropriate for any of this new development to occur near you?

Does being a NIMBY require you to be a home owner?
I know that's kind of a silly question, but it would make sense if most NIMBYs were home owners because people who live in apartment complexes/dense housing don't have as much of a sense of ownership over a general area
Sure, you can "have" a back yard, even if you're sharing it, but I guess I'm talking about the somewhat transient nature of renting.
