NIMBYs opposing green infrastructure yet again.

I'm an extremist who thinks landowners who prevent us from building goddamn anything should have their assets seized and be tried and executed as traitors, but it is disappointing to see Plaid turn to this niche form of usually right-wing populism — as the Greens have in England.

I look forward to the tears when we take an axe to the Town and Country Planning Act later in the year.

A sign that says NO PYLONS in front of a red circle with a line across it. The sign is attached to a wooden fence, a field is visible in the background.

I know that NIMBYs get a bad press - but newly acquired NIMBYs seem to deserve all the bad press they seem to be intent on acquiring. Fresh people coming into largely rural areas are to be celebrated - if they contribute and have some sensitivity to that is already there. Maybe this is just Norfolk, but if people tried to disrupt local farmers unneccesarily in the Scottish Borders (where we live half of the year) then there would be murder.

Guter Kommentar aus der Böblinger Kreiszeitung zum geplanten interkommunaler Windpark. Gilt fast universell in Deutschland:

Wasch mich, aber mach mich nicht nass!

Windräder gerne, aber bitte nicht vor meiner Haustür. Da gehe ich immer mit dem Hund spazieren. Naherholung. Die Fledermäuse. Ganz plötzlich sind alle Naturliebhaber und Artenschützer und plaudern munter Slogans der Vernunftkraft nach.

Lil NIMBYism going on in Monroe County. You can always tell when they start talking about preserving the character.

"Change the zoning of couple hundred parcels from High Development Residential (HD) to Residential 1 (RES), which is a downzoning...most of the homes use septic systems and currently do not have access to sewer, the presence of karst/sinkholes in the area, and to preserve the overall character of the area."

The B Square Bulletin · March 17, 2025: Theater preview, annexation update, zoning galore, a dandy dogRelaunch update For now, I have settled into a twice-a-week pattern (Monday-Thursday) for the morning email, which is called the Almost Daily Bulletin. Before the shutdown last year, it was a three-day schedule. It's probably fair to say that twice a week does not merit the description of "almost daily,

Eine Atommüll-Freundschafts- und Fossil-Lobby kämpft gegen eine mögliche Ausweisung eines Gebiets hier in Aidlingen als geeignet für Windkraft.

Ob es das ist, entscheiden hoffentlich wissenschaftliche und physikalische Faktoren (gepaart mit baulichen Möglichkeiten) und keine Onlinepetitionen von Stromverbrauchenden.

Dieses "Not in My Backyard" Mindset privilegierter (mittel-) alter weißer Männer hat uns dahin gebracht, wo wir aktuell stehen: Reaktanz und Verdrängung der Folgen des durch uns Menschen veränderten Klimas.

Sie sagen, sie wollen nur die Natur erhalten, aber weiter fossile Brennstoffe nutzen und haben ihr Häuser mitten in die Natur gesetzt und dort Böden versiegelt und Flora und Fauna gerodet.

Nickelsville, a grassroots nonprofit, had spent more than a year working to transform the barren land at the corner of Rainier & Orchard St into its third tiny house village for homeless people. But in August 2024, weeks before it was scheduled to break ground, Seattle’s Mayor’s Office and Human Services Department (HSD) abruptly canceled the project by denying the permit.HSD received complaints from about a dozen Rainier Valley community members #Housing #NIMBY #USA

We have major roads surrounding the neighbourhood and the west LRT expansion nearby. It is the ideal neighbourhood for missing middle infill. Yes, I have some concerns, such as load on infrastructure, and would really love to see some more mixed used development, but overall, this is a good thing. No one gripes about oversized, unattractive single family infill (whose owners seem to need to park 3 cars on the street at all times despite the 2-car garage...) #yeg #NIMBY

We live in what has quickly become a very desirable middle-city neighbourhood (not suburb, not inner city). The city completely overhauled the zoning bylaw a few years ago, opening the door to very expansive missing middle housing options. Our 'hood has become a hotspot for this development, and now every time a new development starts, the community socials light up with "our neighbourhood is going to shit!" and "won't someone think of the parking!" #yeg #NIMBY

I had a look at the area myself and TBH this seems like a load of middle class #NIMBY s - the #M25 #motorway service station in #Essex would take up a relatively small area of "green belt" space (compared to how much actually exists), and is genuinely useful for those driving long distances especially for those who have another few hours journey left along the # A12 / #A14
