Time to loosen zoning restrictions and say no to NIMBYs Ms. Mayor. *

Despite earning around $90,000 a year between her work as mayor, regional councillor and with the local electric utility, she says she can’t afford to buy a home in the municipality she leads.

* yeah, she’s still paying off student loans, and I don’t know what zoning restrictions are like in her community. But still.

Who you calling a NIMBY? Did you even read the article you posted?

Salonen supports last month’s announcement to build 10,000 affordable and attainable homes in the region by 2030.

She’s quite literally the opposite of a NIMBY.

If she can’t afford to live there then it’s by definition not her backyard…
