- ceejayoz 6mo agoI'm a firm believer that part of progressivism needs to be reining in these sorts of NIMBY obstacles.
- b112 6mo agoEnvironmental assessments are NIMBY? Well regardless, the point is it should be the same for everyone.
- ceejayoz 6mo ago> Environmental assessments are NIMBY? It's a kiosk being added to a concrete sidewalk in the middle of Manhattan, by the city itself. There must be a way to do projects of this small scale without spending years on paperwork.
- asdff 6mo agoThe whole point is in principle these things are good ideas but in practice they are tools weaponized by NIMBYs. This is the fig leaf that keeps them around. "But why would you do away with environmental review???" As if you were to stab 55 gal drums of toxic waste and dump them into a river. But really you were trying to build an apartment as large as many other existing apartments in the middle of the city. Or in this case, install something on the sidewalk.
