NIMBY




There is an acronym in English, "NIMBY". It means "Not in my back yard". If it affects you personally you do not want it to happen but you really don't care if it affects the rest of society.




The debate over the traffic control has this problem.




The restaurants don't want the noise but do want the customers. If many of the local people cannot park outside a restaurant they will not use it.




Those who work in offices don't want it at all. When they are late for work they can blame the circulation (or lack of it!)




This really is not so difficult.




Stop the illegal parking by using wheel clamps. Then we wouldn't need "the ring"
