NIMBY


Everyone in Bonneville County: WHY CAN'T THE CITY/COUNTY PLAN AHEAD FOR TRAFFIC? THEY NEVER DO ANYTHING RIGHT THESE ROADS ARE TERRIBLE THERE'S TOO MUCH TRAFFIC AND THEY SHOUD PLAN AHEAD AND REALLY GET THINGS READY FOR THE FUTURE!

Also everyone in Bonneville County: WHY DID THE COUNTY/CITY HAVE TO IMPACT *ME* AS THEY PLAN FOR THE FUTURE THESE PLANNERS ARE EVIL AND NEVER THINK ABOUT HOW THEIR PLANS IMPACT THE COMMUNITY!

Post made by a person whose childhood home was razed for a Bonneville County road expansion project.

I see this kind of thing all the time locally. People gripe about the clogged streets, but as soon as something happens to fix a street near them that they don't like, they bellyache about the cost of progress.

The county proposed laying the ground for a belt loop to the south of town a year back, a loop that would eventually, probably in decades, become a divided highway and connect to I-15 and then loop north to US 20, another divided highway. Locals went off the rails protesting against it.

Yet in decades, they'll be complaining that that county did nothing to plan for future growth. I don't get it.
