The town/city/state may change but the language NIMBYs use is always the same.
A photo of a proposed affordable housing tract. It appears to leave wooded areas intact and use former farmland for the homes. The text at the top from the OP reads “ while acknowledging the affordable housing obligation, serious questions have been raised regarding the process leading up to the current situation.” The proposed development area is next to existing houses.

Aurora from my little light polluted corner of the world. Surprisingly visible to the naked eye and we were able to watch it slowly move west before disappearing.
A nighttime photo of the aurora. It is reddish pink with a dark sky behind it and a few stars. There are houses that are clear in the photo because of the ambient light from peoples homes.

I was looking for something like the Tern Storm Shield but im not sure if its compatible. Thank you though!
A photo of a tern storm shield which is a cover for a kid sitting on the back of a cargo bike. It looks like a little square pop up tent with windows and roll up sides on the back of a bike.

This happened in my neighborhood today. Residential, only one car can get by at a time if someone is parked on the street. Luckily it was raining because at that time of day parents like myself are out with small children. If someone was at that mailbox they’d be dead tonight. Cars ruin communities.
A photo of a gang mailbox that has been knocked 20 feet away off its base by a car. A photo of two trees that have been run over. A photo of a black Hyundai in the street that has the front smashed in. A parked mercedes has been knocked sideways into the grass from the driveway by the force of the other vehicle hitting it.

I need a millennial to become CEO of McDonalds and return it to its former glory because this it downright dystopian.
The interior of a McDonalds. Cold. Bleak. Hostile.

11.3 miles of off road paved trails and neighborhood riding that included a stop at the playground, ice cream from Mr. Softee, and lunch at a local restaurant. Peak suburban living right here in Woolwich NJ.

Good one NJ.
A photo of the sunset in South Jersey. Dark houses are on the bottom of the photo. The sky is lit up with clouds in reds and pinks with a pale blue sky background. A sliver of the moon is showing.
