    Left leaning people live in gated communities of urban sprawl when they get rich enough, just look at SanFrancisco.

    Everyone becomes a nimby when their traffic may get worse or a shadow might block their sun, this is human nature irrespective of left/right.

      “Human nature” is where material conditions intersects with cultural conditioning. “Left leaning” doesn’t mean anything in America, especially when the cultural underpinning of the society is consumerism and the acquisition of wealth.
