NIMBYism strikes on Painter Road

Reader thinks neighbours should be considerate of development

Re:

Complaints about the building of needed housing on Painter Road are strange.

WhatB次元官网网址檚 the point about a few more house driveways in a neighbourhood of more than 200? The way Katheryn Robertson talks, many cars will be moving in and out of house driveways at the time children are walking to and from school B次元官网网址 that doesnB次元官网网址檛 make sense.

Slurs at apartment occupants as being B次元官网网址渢ransientB次元官网网址 are fallacious B次元官网网址 many stay put for decades, including those who would be able to stay in the neighbourhood as they age out of their houses. On the other hand, some house owners move after a few years and some rent to a revolving door of noisy persons B次元官网网址 how is that better than having apartments?

Claims that all the present residents Ms. Robertson says she talked to will want to move sound like cheap talk without their own money behind it.

As for traffic safety, isnB次元官网网址檛 that a policing matter, as is curbing drunk house owners and their delinquent teenagers who already live in the area?

The nature of NIMBYism is making fallacious claims to control othersB次元官网网址 property at no cost to themselves. ThatB次元官网网址檚 initiation of force, via the collective.
