Lets never forget that politically effective NIMBYism started when Jane Jacobs and other influential Manhattanites stood up to Robert Moses' planned expressway through Manhattan. The rest of the city saw how they did it and Moses was finished. Nobody in NY has dared to plan ambitious feather-ruffling transportation projects in NY since, with the exception of Westway and the Queens Super-Express train route and we saw how those ended up. |
