        Conservative in politics means resistance to social change. Resistance to infrastructure change is colloquially called NIMBY. A conservative in the US would generally be pro more roads, as that’s doing more of the same.

          If I said, “San Francisco can be warm too” would that make warm a noun? Because I was taught that it was an adjective.
