Great point. A good example is the Obama Presidential Library. Finally an investment that may improve property values and bring some tourism and $$ to the community and a vocal bunch of idiots are out in full force complaining about "gentrification" and wanting a "Community Benefits Agreement". Those same people probably whine and moan all day about "lack of investment" in their community.
Luckily they are overshadowed by the rest of the community there that mostly supports the project.
