Vans and minivans do everything trucks and SUVs do, and they do it better. Every time. No exception. SUVs and crossovers are just worse minivans for people who think they're too cool to drive a minivan.

And those outside of North America largely need not apply. I wish we could just have a robust public transit system here, but apparently, public transit is antithetical to muh freedum or something. Or so they tell me.

And that's not even getting into the point the post makes, which is that these monstrosities are getting bigger and more dangerous to pedestrians, yet our governments do nothing to stop it.

“Bad things”

Like public transportation? Which is what we’re discussing. Not sewage treatment plants.

I'm not arguing whatever issue is being argued here, in fact I didn't even know what it was. I'm talking about the term NIMBY and saying exactly (and only) what I said.

Oh, so you're ignoring the entire conversation to make an ignorant quip obviously based on the fact you don't know what NIMBYs are... and then you carry on to admit you don't know what a NIMBY is...

Damn, ignorance must be your friend if you chum up with it so readily.

Let me clue you in: NIMBYs complain about ANY change that they do not personally want. As the person you conveniently ignored already pointed out, NIMBYs say no to things that are good for society, NOT for valid reasons, but because they're selfish pricks who don't care about making society better.
