Let's be fair. Andreesen is just one person out of 7000 living in Atherton, and he's made his own position clear. Other than that, there's no evidence that he is or isn't a NIMBY, so let's not jump to fast conclusions without more data.

What is the evidence that Marc Andreessen is a NIMBY other than he lives close to his office?

Vote with your feet. At least send your property taxes to a town that allows for at least some multi-unit housing (Palo alto isn’t great but it’s better and right next door).

A16Z’s interests are aligned against nimbyism, not with it, so it’s completely fallacious to treat Marc Andreesen and Atherton as synonymous entities.

I think it's also fallacious to treat a VC firm's interests as synonymous to its cofounder's interests on an individual level.
