I just experienced something similar to this and it makes me wonder if much of this is just perception.
We recently dealt with an out of state builder pushing to have a property that was zoned Neighborhood Commercial to be rezoned to something more flexible so that he could build 49 town homes with 49 parking spots on 5 acres of land.
Everybody opposed the rezoning and fought to defeat it. The project would have been the most dense townhome development in 4 counties.
There is uniform agreement that people want commercial projects built there as zoned, but I wonder if the opposition would be classified as NIMBY?
