We have NIMBY here is Switzerland too but we try to find a solution most of the time if we see a need for it. In the end it's usually a compromise everyone can live with but sometimes a project can also fail. Like the subway that was proposed in the 70s to run under Zürich. The subway station at HB was even built but then people voted against the whole project later. Today that station runs a regular train (S4 and S10) not a subway. There is also another tunnel with station that was supposed to be part of the subway which was built (near tierspital) but is now a standard tram line. What's interesting is that there is almost no room for the tram. The tracks are as low as they can be and the trams pantograph gets almost completely compressed.
