A question on development for both the #yimby and #nimby crowd. The majority of American urban zoning and building regulations are not truly democratic. What would real democratic building regulations look like?
I don't live in Salisbury so I'm fairly relaxed about this. #nimby

Tohle je oblíbený #NIMBY obecně. Odpor Prahy-Kolovrat proti dálničnímu obchvatu spočíval po deset let (!) v tvrzení "no my jsme si nastavěli baráky tady u tý čáry v mapě, protože to byly fakt levný pozemky. A to nám nikdo neřek, že to už 40 let je plánovaná dálnice, a ta čára tam určitě nebyla!!!"
Hij schrijft ook "Mensen stemmen niet op een naam". Waarmee hij zichzelf ondergraaft.
Jaap is al een tijdje de weg kwijt. Een boomer die niet met veranderingen kan meegaan. En zoals veel NL'ers, tegen asielopvang is. #NIMBY

« Les sceptiques du #tramway réclament depuis plusieurs semaines qu’on suspende l’abattage de centaines d’arbres le long du tracé. Ils disent que la coupe de ces arbres sera un geste irréparable alors que le financement pour le tramway n’a toujours pas été confirmé. »

ADDENDUM: My comments in this thread about #NIMBY and fear of change relate to what I might call “good faith” NIMBY. It’s important tho, to speak the truth that much of the history of NIMBY has been about much darker things, like racism & classism. That crap doesn’t get a pass based on human nature.
Post on Twitter from 2013 by Brent Toderian. Text says “What’s beyond NIMBY? I’m heartened by YIMBY (yes in my backyard) in laneway housing, and I think we need more QIMBY (quality in my backyard).
12. So I’ll keep calling for more badly needed density, more change, but always #DensityDoneWell. Listening/learning, smart design, multi-modal, with livable amenities.
Let’s keep talking about #NIMBY & #YIMBY. But let’s DEFINITELY not leave out my favourite, QUALITY IN MY BACKYARD #QIMBY.
Thanks.
11. My observation is that, just like #YIMBY was push-back against #NIMBY, many cities are seeing a predictable pushback against any YIMBY that seemed to skip over good faith conversations about how to grow WELL. It concerns me that such pushback may see cities lose ground instead of make progress.
9. In my experience working in cities all over the world, the cities that are truly addressing our biggest challenges in serious ways, have honest community conversations about change, combined with real political will and leadership despite fear of change. #NIMBY is neither ignored nor pandered to.
7. I’ve said for years that if wrong decisions are made due to #NIMBY fears, it won’t be NIMBYs I mostly blame (altho given the obviousness of our crises, “human nature” doesn’t excuse them). I’ll blame decision-makers who knew better, had the information and evidence, and still did the wrong thing.
4. But fear of change and #NIMBY needn’t be debilitating when it comes to smart, responsible and badly-needed change in your city.
Cities that are skillful and self-confident listeners can learn a lot from NIMBY fears, and that learning can help make decisions better and approaches more successful.
2. Many studies have shown that it’s normal to fear change to an unusual degree when it’s first proposed (see status quo bias) even when change is constant, & to weigh potential loss more heavily than we value potential gain. So #NIMBY likely can’t be avoided. Change will always be hard everywhere.
1. Here’s a thread on #NIMBY (“not in my backyard”) and the challenges of change in cities:
First off, although it might feel that way, NIMBY isn’t unique to your city, and it’s (probably) not worse in your city than anywhere else. It’s also not surprising, since it’s largely about human nature.
Les mensonges d'hier (sur la métallurgie et ses effets environnementaux) coûtent cher aujourd'hui. Car il y a des nuisances incontestables.
Mais #nimby n'apporte aucune solution à qui cherche transition et indépendance énergétiques ET normes environnementales www.lemonde.fr/planete/arti...

Multiplexes won't "solve" the housing crisis. They are one piece of the solution.
City of Vancouver should also be upzoning large sections of the city for 6 storey apartment buildings.

I’ll tell ya where America went wrong. We went wrong when an entire generation of spoiled ass NIMBYS decided to be as selfish and narcissistic as possible and fuck the rest of us.
Bitch I make 6 figures, been working since 18 (Navy), and I still can’t afford a house. LMFAO.

Although Tallmadge had a strong Democratic streak in the Obama era, there's been an undercurrent of Republican-lite that coincided with Trump.
It's not NYC or SF, yet Kilway is coming out against this. That's how unpopular this police facility is.
Nothing gets people fired up like #NIMBY.

““Where I do take issue is when we start prioritizing the aesthetic concerns of a handful of property owners along the frontage of a corridor over the safety of the, as we know from the data, thousands of people who use this road for transportation,” de Smidt said.”

URGENT! There will be a Bangor City Council meeting this evening during which they will discuss a proposed ICE/CBP facility (details below). We need to do everything we can to prevent this from happening! Please show up in person if you can. The meeting starts at 7pm.

Another #NIMBY hypocrisy occurs when people resist addiction or unhousing remedies EVERYWHERE—when Abbotsford MLA Bruce Banman & Burnaby's Wallace Pong resist projects in *other* communities. When they and groups like #NWP literally *campaign* on opposing remedies like #HousingFirst in #NewWest.
