I mean, I spend a lot of time discussing this stuff with actual local development opponents, so arguments like these in the abstract just aren't that aggravating. I'm often happy for people to mount the most superficial arguments against things I believe in; might as well lay the flimsiness of the opposition out clearly.

Do you have any tips for a NIMBY that may help me stop/slow-down/impede local development? Even delaying for a day is worth the time to me.

Honestly, step 1 would be to stop writing stuff like this.

This is my flavor of activism. FWIW, I've participated in activism to stop destruction of green space and nature preserves from commercial interests. Stopping the expansion of urban sprawl, mcdonalds and walmart, and destruction of greenery (whether it be housing or a self storage business) is something I'm passionate about.

I couldn't ask for a better opponent, so thank you for that.
