[quote=Anonymous]I don't think this is what you are asking for, but I live near an exurb/semi-rural area which is dominated by NIMBYs. Almost every new construction project is met with vigorous protests by community leaders. Similar to what research finds, this NIMBY coalition appears to be spearheaded by a loose coalition of Democrats and Republicans. In this case, the Dems appear to be aging green environmentalists and the Rs appear to be family oriented church-goers. This community is triangulated by three major job centers and retail locations so there is little desire to grow the community as residents travel to one of the neighboring towns for jobs and services.
