Most of the resistance you see in red states is more nimby than "concentration camps are bad."
But whatever it takes.

Agreed. Semantically we got screwed on this one. I’ve resorted to talk about “inclusive zoning” as a positive antidote to NIMBY restrictions, but people still get confused…

Would be funny if one reason Gotham is a crime ridden cesspool vs. Metropolis being a city of gleaming modern skyscrapers is that Gotham is so invested in community feedback it doesn’t notice that the NIMBY voices are all mob goons while Metropolis’s zoning process was done by Luthorcorp lobbyists

Zohran Mamdani’s villain arc if he was mayor of Gotham City? Becoming a NIMBY after years of buildings being blown up by supervillains.

When "housing" "advocate" Nathan Quimby falls into a vat of toxic Bluesky discourse, he emerges as Bruce Wayne's greatest foe... the NIMBY!

Sadly, in this economy, I think a version of NIMBY Batman might hit hard with all the worst people.

Surely if you wanted Batman's villain to be a nimby, have someone who actively sabotages development schemes and firebombs coffee shops while also idolising Bruce for securing heritage status for much of the arc deco gothic architecture

"Batman has to deal with municipal policy" would be fun in a "Batman is up against Robert Moses" or "Batman faces a Chinatown scheme" or even "the Borough President is paying villains to help him secure support for redlining", instead of "there's an annoying nimby at the town hall"

I thought so too at first. Then I noticed that all their ALTtext are empty, or rather, are merely a blank, to get the label, I assume.
That's an unusually rude quality of NIMBY I don't want to have in my timeline, nor do I want to anger or sadden my blind followers with such reposts.

There was a NIMBY group in Arlington calling themselves SIMBYs (S for sensible) a while ago.
Total YIMBY rhetorical victory watch: San Francisco’s newest NIMBY group, “YesAND,” is pretending to be YIMBY so that people will take them seriously.

Volledig met zon wind en opslag zal het niet lukken. Bovendien zijn er daar ook serieuze uitdagingen zoals nimby en stijgende prijzen bij wind. En kelderende capture rates en gesatureerd net met zon.

British dickheadery is not dead and we should be proud of our ability to cause an international incident with nothing but a couple of ballys, white vans and a legitimately concerned nimby.

The failure here is not in pedestrianising Oxford Street, which loads of cities would have done decades ago. It's in the total lack of area wide planning, in part cos of the shameful NIMBY civic groups around the area, in part local politics relating to them.

Ikke bare er det en korrupsjonsskandale - disse menneskene og UD har ødelagt Norges internasjonale inflytelse. Vi VAR faktisk et land alle hørte på og så opp til - men grådighet, arroganse og NIMBY har ødelagt omdømmet vårt slik at vi nå har blitt det lille utkantslandet øverst på europakartet

Having the gall to go for a data centre in Sydney must have been a layover from another time in data centre politics - there’s no way any new proposals would even entertain the idea of building one in a mid sized regional town let alone a city with already sharpened NIMBY tendencies!

i think "wanting to live in a gated, secluded, nimby like suburb" should qualify as a symptom for a yet undiscovered mental disorder.
like. not wanting to exist in and around people as a social organism is maladaptive and detrimental

Malls were always privatized spaces with all the baggage that comes with it, but I still think it’s worth being mad about moves that criminalize youth and lead to the disappearance of physical shared spaces.

Another local nimby here to complain about an update to animal keeping ordinances and surprisingly thinks we should upzone, so to speak, to allow people to keep more poultry than would be permitted.
