Get wrecked nimbys

Hell yeah.

Sidenote, referencing the comments, I hate when people call Jane Jacobs a NIMBY because she didn't want a freeway built through Manhattan. The thing with construction of new housing projects like this is that they provide homes and businesses and create communities. Freeways destroy all of that. Jane Jacobs had homes, businesses, and communities in her neighborhood and wanted to keep them from getting destroyed. The NIMBYs who tried to stop this want to stop homes, businesses, and communities from existing. Those two things are polar opposites of each other.
