This reminds me of the Cape Elizabeth debacle over the affordable housing units in the in town area.

that was another project that looked good on the face but would have done very little good to the people everyone thinks it was going to help - it was all 1 bedroom apartments, not really helping those families they keep talking about, and only a small percentage would have been affordable-housing (and hey, how about instead of crying for low-income housing for teachers and firefighters we...pay them more?) This was 100% going to be full of seniors from MA and NJ who want a second place near the beach.

Its cynicism, not NIMBYism
