The old NIMBY phenomenon rears its ugly head . . . not in my back yard
What’s weird is I know exactly the spot they are talking about and there’s basically nothing there. It’s right ON the West side highway in the middle of nowhere with maybe 3 or 4 garbage trucks there at the most at any time, so I don’t know what they are whining about. It’s a total NIMBY situation. There’s one sanitation depot across the street in an old warehouse alongside the Hudson river, which again is in the middle of nowhere, so I don’t know what they are whining about, it’s not like they are dumping tons of garbage there, they never do. They just basically park trucks there, but in the mind of NYC liberals everything must be a shiny bright utopia.
