Fucking #NIMBYs and so not surprising considering it's West Linn.

OPB: 'Don't want to be like the middle of Portland': West Linn housing developments spur pushback

GOP voters aren't rejecting Concentration Camps, they're just rejecting the ones near where they live.

@egghat @pallenberg gut, schau dir die Rheintalstrecke zwischen Frankfurt am Main und Basel an. 100% ausgelastet.
Aber mehr Gleise oder zusätzliche Trassen? Frag mal die #nimbys

Smashing the NIMBYs created modern capitalism

Revenge of the #NIMBYs: A Denver suburb held a referendum on its city council’s decision to create greater #density in neighborhoods. By a 2-to-1 margin voters reversed the council decision, as NIMBYs turned out and others did not. Urbanists: You need to do a better job of explaining how such changes can benefit everyone. https://denverite.com/2026/04/07/lakewood-special-election-results/

Revenge of the #NIMBYs: You’ve convinced the city council to change zoning rules to allow more #housing. So, mission accomplished, right? Oh no. NIMBYs don’t give up that easily, as we see in large suburb of Denver, where there’s a referendum on repealing recent #reforms. Lesson: Don’t stop explaining the need for change, even after you’ve won. https://denverite.com/2026/04/02/lakewood-development-special-election-explainer/

Now is the time for #NIMBYs to activate like #Voltron.

It’s worth reminding ourselves that urbanists have won the debate over #housing and #NIMBYs have lost. Last year, a poll in D.C. found that if the choice was between moderate increases in density (urbanists’ position) and “neighborhood character” (the NIMBYs’), a vast majority would choose … more housing. https://ggwash.org/view/101935/ggwash-picks-2025-poll-finds-district-residents-prefer-housing-affordability-to-neighborhood-character

Überraschung für alle #NIMBYs: #ICE-Trasse #Hannover-#Hamburg: #Neubau laut Ministerium wirtschaftlich

Warum wird zu diesem Zeitpunkt ein Landrat überhaupt zu seiner Meinung gefragt? Der kann sich einbringen, wenn das Projekt im Planfeststellungsverfahren angekommen ist. Dann gibt es auch verlässliche Kosten, die laut seiner Behauptung aktuell nicht vorliegen (was sie gemäß HOAI auch nicht müssen, es heißt nicht umsonst “Kostenschätzung” zum Ende der Vorplanung)

Dank #NIMBYs (oder zumindest der Fähigkeit der #BVG, deren Kritik entweder zu entkräften oder aufzunehmen) entfällt einfach mal ab nächstem Monat auf unbestimmte Zeit (sicher aber Jahre!) eine wichtige Tramlinie und Anbindung.

Man kann sich das nicht ausdenken.

Kann ich dieses "Schneller bauen"-Gesetz nochmal sehen?

NIMBYism is a form of zero-sum thinking, the notion that if you gain something it must come at my expense. This makes #NIMBYs impervious to facts and reason and turns some into conspiracy mongers. We see all this in a small CA city, where state law says greater density must be allowed, but NIMBYs insist local officials are responsible … and even threaten their safety. https://www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/openforum/article/fairfax-mayor-recall-blash-21089499.php

You may sometimes wonder if the people living in your city are the most reactionary in the world because of the scorn they heap on new ideas. Advice: Don’t be cynical or combative, be creative. You’ll never win over the #NIMBYs but you may win over the merely skeptical. How? Master the facts, show the evidence, stay calm and be persistent. And embrace converts. https://www.pghcitypaper.com/columns/transit-talk/penn-ave-bike-lane-extension-lawsuit-strip-district/

We made the mess, and you can’t fix it: Under state law, S.F. must find places for 82,000 more units of #housing. Mayor Lurie has a sensible idea: Let’s build denser housing near transit stations. But #NIMBYs are up in arms, led by a politician who lost to Lurie in the mayor’s race. Their threat: Whatever plan you come up with, we will undo with a ballot initiative. https://www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/lurie-housing-plan-21025719.php

Make sure you grill Lord Pocketsquare of the Brylcreem Coif about how he bowed to #NIMBYs to destroy city-shaping light rail access for the masses. #qldpol #GoldCoast #placemaking #TownPlanning #urbanity #sustainability youtu.be/CTJduaSCHKU?...

A writer who follows housing in Pittsburgh says we need a better term than #NIMBYs to describe those who oppose all changes that don’t personally benefit them. He offers suggestions: “Everyone Who Arrived After Me Is A Gentrifier,” ““Build Affordable Housing (Just Not Here)” and “Save My Historic Parking Space.” Nice, but no clever acronyms. https://www.pghcitypaper.com/columns/affordable-ish-housing-in-pittsburgh-scrappin-with-nimbys-edition-28513616

“Any time a politician is on a recall ballot, the likelihood is he’s recalled”: A big problem in local politics is the outsize influence of small groups. It is how #NIMBYs fueled the #affordablehousing crisis. Another way small groups get their way is with recall elections. Who votes in these special elections? Motivated, aggrieved people, many of whom are NIMBYs. https://www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/joel-engardio-sunset-supervisor-san-francisco-20805291.php

@ehrba The #NIMBYs are strong with this one… #Klingbeil

@sixtus unsere tschechischen Nachbarn wollen ein neues #AKW in Tušimicie bauen. 15 km neben der sächsischen Grenze. Bis 13. Juni könnte jeder in der EU eine Stellungnahme abgeben Infos hier ( https://www.bmuv.de/meldung/grenzueberschreitende-umweltvertraeglichkeitspruefung-zum-neubau-eines-akw-mit-smr-in-tusimice-tschechien)

Die ebenfalls wenige km angrenzenden Bayern sind gerade hin und her gerissen, einerseits gibt's auch bei der #CSU viele #Nimbys, andererseits findet Herr #Söder gerade AKW wieder geil. Es wird wohl keine offizielle Stellungnahme aus Bayern gegen den Bau geben.

Looking to write a history of NIMBYism? You could focus on just one project, the effort to build #housing on a parking lot next to a suburban D.C. #transit station. Incredibly, this project has been blocked for 25 years by “a small number of vocal neighbors.” At last, it seems to be moving forward. Why? Because public attitudes have changed and political patience with #NIMBYs has grown thin. https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2025/04/06/dc-housing-development-takoma-density/

@blogoklahoma NIMBYs are extremely annoying.

Politically, #NIMBYs are on their back feet in CA. They are denounced by urbanists, scorned in the press and legislated against in the state capital. Public opinion has turned against them. But even as they are cornered, NIMBYs and their enablers on city councils are cooking up new ways of stopping #housing from being built. Here’s one “Orwellian” example. https://www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/emilyhoeven/article/sausalito-housing-nimby-20214173.php

@adorfer @Canisius @JamesBont @pantaRhei @scy
Da dürften die #Nimbys auch konsequent kein Autofahren. Die Infraschall Belastung beim Autofahren ist durch Motor und Generator erheblich höher als bei einer WKA. (Quelle ... muss ich gucken ob ich die wiederfinde)
Und verschandeln die Landschaft... ein Argument dass insbesondere in der Gegend "Schwarze Pumpe" zieht oder?

Rezoning can bring out the worst in #neighborhoods. And, yes, we’re talking about #NIMBYs. These people are often small , angry, loud groups that claim to speak for all but, in fact, are narrowly self-interested. Can anything be done to bring others … say, renters … into discussions about neighborhoods and land use? Denver is trying. Other cities should pay attention. https://denverite.com/2025/02/03/denver-rezoning-development-process-changes-2025/
