[quote=Anonymous]IDK if this counts as NIMBY in the way you are asking, but Takoma Park fought hard against putting a highway right through the city, and won. Fighting against Hogan's 270 and Beltway expansion is working so far. Induced demand is bad, more lanes will equal more cars. Opposing development in the Ag reserve has protected farmers and decreases emissions from reducing long-distance transit of crops and feeds. Marc Elrich opposing the Long Branch Sector Plan keeps immigrant families in their homes. At a national level - do you think Native Americans opposing DAPL was NIMBYism? At a global level, any case where indigenous people defended their land against colonialist and corporate development, as few of those victories their have been, can be counted as an environmental and social justice success. There is a moral case against BAD development. [/quote]
