    That’s a good sentiment to have for things that need to be built for society as a whole. You don’t need to extend the same courtesy to for profit endeavors that don’t provide a general benefit.

    This is not standing up to support building a homeless shelter in your neighborhood, because it has to go somewhere. It’s more like supporting a McDonald’s. There’s plenty of them already, and they have plenty of other options for building more.

      There is a general benefit. If you don’t block this you have more ground against those blocking things you want. Freedom means you allow people to do things you disagree with, with a very high bar for exceptions.
