What do you do when your popular fare-free #brt is gaining ridership? You start charging fares because beachfront #nimbys say unhoused people are getting too close for comfort. #stpete #sunrunner #transit #florida https://www.tampabay.com/news/st-petersburg/2023/08/23/sunrunner-st-petersburg-no-longer-free-psta

@990000 point is that #NIMBYs will be pissed off either way: They don't want #ApexPredators nor #Hunters to regulate the population.

No, US Offshore Wind Developers Aren’t Killing Whales, & Haven’t Been Given Permits To Do So

Thinking globally and preventing action locally is the rallying cry of soulful #nimbys

“Something strange is going on”: A well-known economist wonders what causes otherwise good people to become #NIMBYs. Here’s a theory: It’s human nature to rationalize what we do … until presented with overwhelming, unrelenting evidence we are actually doing harm to others. It’s why we need an activist-driven campaign to change beliefs about neighborhoods … and to make people aware of the damage done to cities by automobiles. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/24/opinion/new-york-congestion-charge.html

How the Tom Sawyer Fence Painting Co. got its start: Propose any new project for a neighborhood and there’s almost certain to be NIMBY backlash. So Detroit Mayor Duggan is turning the tables. The city plans to install solar power arrays on city-owned vacant land. #Neighborhoods will receive some benefits from hosting the installations. Now, convince him that your neighborhood is the right place for it. https://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/detroit/2023/06/27/duggan-solar-panels-proposal-detroit-vacant-land/70356311007/ #NIMBYs

Alexandria's African American Heritage Trails expanded over the weekend. After reporting a surplus, DC officials plan for an uncertain fiscal future. Satirical "Nimbee" mascot takes on #NIMBYs.

#Nextdoor social media app creates a union of the housed against the unhoused, empowering #NIMBYs

*If one set out to devise a social network specifically for the purpose of debating housing issues and forming a political base rooted in hyperlocal paranoia, it would look an awful lot like Nextdoor.

Users join a neighborhood group after verifying their address either with their phone’s geolocation.*

#NIMBYs and NITBYs (not in *their* back yards) outnumber expressions of supports 100:1 here, with commenters from as nearby as Aberdeen and Lyon and all other points of the compass.

I know development control is neither a democracy nor a question of numbers, but if "they" win it will be not only 32 affordable homes "lost" but since #Oxford city council paid for the land expressly at housing value, it will be a huge loss for affordable housing building across the city.

Just realized today I am a couple of weeks shy of 13 *years* in #SF.

🤯^2

SF has changed a lot. Not nearly as welcoming as it was in 2010. The #NIMBYs who talk like progressives but vote against every progressive ballot proposition, the influx of #techbros who are only here for the money, the big money “centrist” Dems running the city, and lack of diversity here is pretty soul crushing. 🫤

There is nothing so powerful as an idea whose time has come. And the idea that more #housing and more people make #neighborhoods better is penetrating even the stoutest castles of NIMBYdom ... including neighborhood advisory boards in NYC. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/15/nyregion/manhattan-community-board-housing.html #NIMBYs #urbanism

The #NIMBYs have it - Rishi Sunak capitulates to Tory shire MPs aghast at the prospect of new housebuilding in their rural idylls.
