Anyone who uses the term 'Nimby' against those who object to a particular proposal is not only being abusive but they show they lack the ability to argue their case.

Bank Underground 2023: High house prices? Dwellings are assets, “values” are determined by MARGINAL sales +these are affected by interest rates & money supply. 20 yrs ultra-low real interest rates compounds asset values & transfers wealth to older people. cornwallecon.com/post/high-hous…

Sheer madness to deny Barnet a return to... Barnet. Worst elements of local government and planning decisions on display here, all entirely believable.
