ION Phase 2 - Cambridge's Light Rail Transit

[danbrotherston]

Group three were the malicious NIMBYs—completely against it regardless of route. These were the people who would propose another route but not seriously. They would do it to try and fracture the pro-LRT side in the hopes to get them to fight and the politicians would see it as limited public support for the preferred route and get the project sidelined. A divide and conquer strategy.

Ah yes, the BANANAs - Build Absolutely Nothing Anywhere Near Anything.

We need another acronym I think:

OEBOPFLALPTDE

"Only Ever Build On Prime/Pristine Farm Land And Lets Pretend Traffic Doesn't Exist"

It could use refinement...but this is basically "I don't want anything to change, but it sounds bad if I say that".
