I don't spend much time on LinkedIn but every now and then I check it out. Up til ~ 5 years ago, I worked mostly in clean energy/utility/climate policy & related fields. I came to housing as a natural outgrowth of that -- it's the key missing link in climate policy, bar none.
So I'm always shocked to go catch up on some LinkedIn threads and see the number of clean energy professionals who are just totally hardcore NIMBYs -- almost always, wealthy, white, suburban professionals who are all in on solar but think zoning reform is a neoliberal conspiracy.
I know, "not all solar advocates," there are *plenty* who are all-in on urban infill, density, transit, etc.
But entirely too many think climate action is only the stuff that doesn't require you to accommodate any change whatsoever in your neighborhood.
This is a problem.

things you say when your concern is really, truly climate change and not, oh, "protecting the character of your neighborhood"
