[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The biggest problem DC faces are NIMBYS[/quote] It's much easier to be a YIYBY ("Yes, in your backyard!" than a NIMBY. In fact, it's something to see folks who live a couple of miles away from the Idaho site (and are not zoned for John Eaton which would be the in-boundary school for the shelter) get on their moral high horse about the ward "sharing the burden." There were no ANC hearings, no studies about the impact of the Idaho shelter site on police operations, school, adjacent properties, etc. It was rushed through the Council right around Memorial Day. Ho, ho, giddy-up YIYBY![/quote]
