      Apparently the NIMBYs created the two stack code because some nearby condos did not like the view from comments in another thread I read.

      Also why America's largest port does not run 24/7 like 90% of international ports -- too much noise at night.

        property values are a strong fighter but financialized capital will probably win this match if I had to guess

          Absolutely not a chance. The right of the Homeowner is the only force more powerful than the right of the Customer in the American system.

          Based Centrist compromise for a permanent solution: 4 high stacks, eliminate the 5-6 pm gap on weekdays, and bring the weekends up to the 8a-3a schedule.

            and hang whoever approved those condo projects right next to the port (or at least look into the bribes they received)

    Long Beach is run by nimbys. 80% of the city's population works in another city. 60% are renters but the city falls behind every year in affordable housing they're required to build. Shot down an actually good land ordinance to allow mixed use housing.
