NIMBYs are always bad, no matter what the situation, no matter what the reason, no matter what is being opposed.

I suppose some NIMBYs are good. A sewage treatment plant doesn't belong in a residential neighborhood.


Actually, the NIMBY's or YIMBY's saved the Franklin Shuttle, and converted it from the Franklin Shittle,
They saved some LIRR stations like Glen Street and Bellport,
They saved the Intervale Ave station,
They even kept the M running in Southern Brooklyn, and the list goes on.

Sometimes "NIMBY's" are YIMBY's, and they actually are good for transportation.
