Seems like typical NIMBYism to me.


Why do some people think that the acronym "NIMBY" is a means of
gaining them support and justification for imposing some
quality-of-life-reducing development on someone else?

These sorts of things should be built Well Away from where people
live, even if it adds significantly to the cost.


1) Why should cost not form part of the consideration, after all the money
will have to come from somewhere, in this instance most likely the local
taxpayers pocket.

2) Why should be people not have to put up with the temporary inconvenience
that improvements cause?

As was suggested before, NIMBYISM.
