That's politics for you right there. An obvious benefit for the city is seen by some as a symbol of something sinister.

Build, just build. It benefits everyone but entrenched interests (nimbys).

It's presented as us vs them. And that is so unfortunate, because it should be seen as progress.

Yep. Stuff like this gets twisted and distorted and then whipped up by politicians, pundits and "journalists" in order to get votes, viewers and clicks. It's disgusting.

edit: downvote? what's to downvote? seriously? don't be a coward, explain yourself!
