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.
Great. They can build the Croxley Rail Link in the middle of the Fens.
Or in the Central Scottish Highlands. Or in Iceland. Or Antarctica.

"Things" from road and railway lines to mobile telephone masts have to
be built near or relatively near to centres of population as, er, that's
what they serve.

I'd still call it NIMBYism.
