Hey now, give the environmentalists some credit too.
Even if the NIMBYs evaporated overnight these projects would still be hobbled by all manner of "you're gonna need an engineered stormwater solution" and "gonna need an impact study" type crap wherein firms and trades that manage to market what they do as being good for the environment (but at what cost?) are empowered sometimes by law, but more often by bureaucratic policy to leech large sums out of money at every step of the process.
- dlcarrier 1y agoAt least in California, through a regulation called CEQA, NIMBYism is usually enacted through extreme selective enforcement of engineering and environment impact requirements. They usually only apply to projects over a certain size, hence the shift to smaller projects to avoid NIMBYism.
