Unless you're really ideology driven there's very few things that can be built around your neighbourhood (especially in a suburb) that will make it more valuable or pleasant to live. NIMBY is just not wanting to lose things.

This. If you own real estate, you have to account for that risk.

But current prices typically assume powerful NIMBYs blocking new development.
