Or like property on the Texas Mexico border through which a wall is being built sealing off acres of private land from the owner.

That’s the opposite of NIMBYism. Public infrastructure getting built despite inconvenience to affected landowners.

That pointless infrastructure that has ‘inconvenienced’ landowners is also destroying a national park, so I guess we are all being inconvenienced. And funneled billions of tax dollars to private contractors.

Yes, building public infrastructure generally involves paying private contractors to do it. Who do you think builds government buildings?
