Irreführende Überschrift.
Inhaltlich nicht zutreffend.
Dennoch erstaunlich, wer sich so alles als #nimby in die Diskussion einschaltet. Man dürfte eigentlich annehmen, dass der sächsische Ministerpräsident andere Aufgaben hat.
Schlussfolgerung, wieder einmal zu viel Emotionen bei fehlendem Sachverstand.

Vor Pfunds-Molkerei wird vorerst doch kein Radweg entstehen.

Santa Fe adjacent NIMBY on a proposal for 30 affordable homes on lots that are 0.33 acres each:

“You want a family garden. You’ve seen some of these jumbo [playground] slides. They take up a lot of room. Shouldn’t kids be able to have [the room for] that?” he said by phone ahead of the meeting, noting he hoped the commissioners would table the matter. “... You’re limiting the lifestyle and quality of life of people by having these types of [smaller] lots.”

Sigh.

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.

.. sucked in you, 5 beddy 1 occupant, NIMBY nut jobs.

These sort of people hose concrete because they don't know how to use a broom.

And yes your selfish sterile little worlds aren't immune from your community's needs.

ABC News · Brisbane Archdiocese affordable housing project approved despite home owners protestsBy Kenji Sato

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 what 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.

The Guardian · Holiday home owners threaten decades-old way of life for Norfolk fishersBy Donna Ferguson

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

[💥 NOVO! 💥] "Por que estamos dando espaço para gente mais preocupada em perpetuar uma cidade disfuncional e estruturalmente racista? Não seria o papel de quadros da esquerda lutar para melhorar a oferta de unidades e a qualidade do espaço construído na totalidade? Ora, não existe boa intenção quando ela é fundamentalmente contrária ao bem-estar da maioria da classe trabalhadora, dependendo de muitas Itaqueras e Grajaús, com suas linhas 3 e 9 apinhadas de gente sem voz. // (…) Não interessa quem Nabil Bonduki é ou quais sentimentos as herdeiras aliadas a ele possuem: nada disso está acima da realidade concreta da maioria, que enfrenta transportes públicos lotados e tem seu tempo e expectativa de vida expropriados cruelmente." | 🏷️ #nimby #saopaulo #nabilbonduki | 🔗 commu.site/blog/2025/02/25/qua

COMMU - Coletivo Metropolitano de Mobilidade Urbana · Quadrilátero de luxo não é “oásis”O Quadrilátero Vilas do Sol não é modelo porque ele não é nem inclusivo, nem racional! O estado não construiu uma linha como a 4-Amarela (Luz-Vila Sônia) para que nós, progressistas, atuássemos para proteger quadriláteros com comércio descolado em sobrados velhos ou imensos bairros de mansões a uma distância caminhável. Não há nenhum oásis ali e a própria ideia de oásis é um grotesco desfavor, que não deveria partir de quadros do Partido dos Trabalhadores
Continued thread

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
