Thanks to Joshua who pointed out this comment left by Traveler:
We never would have visited Buffalo were it not for reading about the FLW boathouse that was recently completed. What a wonderful place, now it is on our list of annual destinations.
How cool is that? It's too bad that they won't be able to stay at the Frank Lloyd Wright Davidson House when they come back for their annual visit. The project was killed by a select few... it's almost too unbearable to think about. Drat. Drat. Drat!
On that note, here's the definition of NIMBY:
NIMBY is an acronym for Not In My Back Yard. The term is used to describe opposition to a new project by residents, even if they themselves and those around will benefit from the construction. Often, the new project being opposed is generally considered a benefit for many, but residents nearby the immediate location consider it undesirable and would generally prefer the building (or project) to be "elsewhere".
