Yes I avidly track the development of projects both large and small near my house. I acknowledge that Fry is the guy for NIMBYs, and that's why he must be kept out of the mayor's seat.

It's okay to accept that Fry has NIMBY tendencies and is the second best vote for NIMBYs if Hardwick is unelectable. Maybe you personally like him, but you don't have to pretend his voting record is anything but.
