While we're on the subject of Nimbys...

By the way, I do not feel bad about calling them Nimbys. You can stop something from getting built if you complain enough, but no one can stop people from moving here. Calling them "no-growthers" would suggest they have the ability to stop growth. No one can do that.

Austin City Council approaches vote on overarching growth plan

By Marty Toohey

The City Council could adopt the plan Thursday. The vote follows a cantankerous two-year drafting process freighted with the hopes, dreams, fears and mistrust of the citizens who were involved in its creation.

"It's an elitist plan," neighborhood activist Jeff Jack said.
