If one company sued another the defendant would countersue and attempt to drown the plaintiffs in cost. But when a homeowner sues a city, a city can’t easily countersue to bury plaintiffs in legal costs. That said I feel like making NIMBY plaintiffs really deal financial pain of frivolous lawsuits is part of it. Maybe by tax payers demanding NIMBY plaintiffs pay the city and developer legal costs?
