RaymondPierreL3“Warracknabeal Energy Park gets Victorian approval as community worries about impact.’ (Source ABC News)
I’m not going to link to the article, it’s easy enough to find if required. I just wanted to point out that the #ABC reporting on the Victorian Govt approval for a very large windfarm project is absolutely disgraceful. For a public broadcaster with a remit to report and inform to report opposition opinions without providing the facts on the matter, is tantamount to #Lobbying on behalf of #NIMBYs and #ClimateDeniers.
The fact that this *local* *opposition* to the #WindFarm project invokes environmental concerns is especially galling given the environmental impact of their farming practices (past and present).
I don’t even want to talk about their BS concerns with “impacts on human health, on noise, on visual amenity loss”. I mean, visual amenity loss, really? It’s farmland morons. Why is the ABC platforming these nutters?
Otis WhiteRevenge of the #NIMBYs: A Denver suburb held a referendum on its city council’s decision to create greater #density in neighborhoods. By a 2-to-1 margin voters reversed the council decision, as NIMBYs turned out and others did not. Urbanists: You need to do a better job of explaining how such changes can benefit everyone. https://denverite.com/2026/04/07/lakewood-special-election-results/
Revenge of the #NIMBYs: You’ve convinced the city council to change zoning rules to allow more #housing. So, mission accomplished, right? Oh no. NIMBYs don’t give up that easily, as we see in large suburb of Denver, where there’s a referendum on repealing recent #reforms. Lesson: Don’t stop explaining the need for change, even after you’ve won. https://denverite.com/2026/04/02/lakewood-development-special-election-explainer/

It’s worth reminding ourselves that urbanists have won the debate over #housing and #NIMBYs have lost. Last year, a poll in D.C. found that if the choice was between moderate increases in density (urbanists’ position) and “neighborhood character” (the NIMBYs’), a vast majority would choose … more housing. https://ggwash.org/view/101935/ggwash-picks-2025-poll-finds-district-residents-prefer-housing-affordability-to-neighborhood-character
Gemma ⭐️🔰🇺🇸 🇵🇭 🎐It seems that the definition of "luxury apartment" for #NIMBYs is "any multiunit new construction".
#Neoliberalism has conditioned people to think that anything new, any building built to modern building code standards, is a #luxury. How sad.
Most of these NIMBYs will never set a single foot inside any of these #shoebox #apartments to see what living in them is really like. It's anything but luxurious.
grosser_menschÜberraschung für alle #NIMBYs: #ICE-Trasse #Hannover-#Hamburg: #Neubau laut Ministerium wirtschaftlich
Warum wird zu diesem Zeitpunkt ein Landrat überhaupt zu seiner Meinung gefragt? Der kann sich einbringen, wenn das Projekt im Planfeststellungsverfahren angekommen ist. Dann gibt es auch verlässliche Kosten, die laut seiner Behauptung aktuell nicht vorliegen (was sie gemäß HOAI auch nicht müssen, es heißt nicht umsonst “Kostenschätzung” zum Ende der Vorplanung)
