One thousand submissions attract 95 per cent opposition to new Tesla factory in Australian city of Adelaide.
'I could not think of a worse developer to sell the land to. Tesla sales have been plummetting [sic] … this is likely to attract protests and negative attention that the neighbourhood does not need or want.'

when you talk about Tesla being a bad business that is nimby - it is none of your businenn how good an investment it is for tesla. unless the city is proposing some loan guarentees or other such things that I oppose but those are unrelated to a tesla.
I gotta disagree, given the contention of the owner that business is going to potentially be a hazard - not only bad practises within itself but also the chance someone's gonna firebomb the joint
@bluGill umm, no? NIMBY is where you oppose things that you claim to believe are a good idea, but just "not in my backyard". Like "yes we need more housing, but not *here* because that would hurt my property prices"

NIMBY generally finds reasons that make it sound global against everything, but the real truth they oppose change in their backyard and then look for reasons to oppose it that they can make sound global.
