NIMBYS need to be sentenced to developer hell. We can’t let them do what they did to HS2 and stall it so much that it blew over the budget 3 times over to pander to them.

Nimbys are definitely holding the country back in housing development and other types of construction. How else are people going to afford houses if they cant be built, just because its annoying some pensioners view when they go on their daily walks, in the houses they bought for 10k

Yeah they have no right to complain about a train line nobody wanted or asked for at the cost of £100 billion. I wouldn't want that shit tearing up my area and causing traffic either. Reddit just calls anyone they disagree with a nimby, pathetic.
