The migrant crisis has reached a critical point - it's angering the NIMBYs

[Sympthsical]

5. People who don't want their neighborhoods changed

For example. Say you're for a drug addiction rehabilitation center. You think it's a good idea, you vote for it, you support spending funds on it.

Then the city or state decides they're going to build that center down the street from you.

Now there are town meetings full of people - who voted for the center - yelling at representatives that they have children, and having addicts so close to them would be dangerous, and what will do that do to property values, and we should have been consulted so we could vote it down, etc. etc. etc.

Not in my backyard.

This is my entire neighborhood, so I see this stuff all day everyday. Our NextDoor page is wild.
