Green Development? Not in My (Liberal) Backyard


"Park Slope, Brooklyn. Cape Cod, Mass. Berkeley, Calif. Three famously progressive places, right? The yin to the Tea Party yang. But just try putting a bike lane or some wind turbines in their lines of sight. And the karma can get very different."

A nice short article from the NY Times about NIMBYism from the elite, and some reflections from psychology on the role that norms can play in getting these green facilities accepted.
