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.'

@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.
