Hear hear, Falls Church News-Press! Your scathing editorial on NIMBYism is spot on, and though aimed directly at the Northern Virginian species, the themes apply equally from Chevy Chase to San Francisco.
Here’s a snippet:
There is nothing virtuous or honorable in NIMBYism. It is based strictly on self-interest which is generally viewed as the opposite of altruism and other virtues we like to bestow upon our children… When high minded arguments are cooked up to justify NIMBY aims, it smacks of the disingenuous, even more crass than self-interest.
