I don't think there's a person in the country who wouldn't object to a proposal to build a housing development that backs onto their back garden resulting in loss of privacy, peace and quiet, view etc. Oh, not to mention the attendant erosion in the value of the house.
Would anyone, seriously, roll over and have their tummy tickled and say it's for the greater good in that it will help to solve our housing crisis?
No. Of course not.
Not saying it's always the right attitude but just that anyone faced with the dilemma would do the same thing. I guess people who go on about NIMBYs are urban folk who are never going to find themselves in the situation.
