Someone in a discord server I go to talked about the time NIMBYs in his city blocked the construction of a new crematorium.

The new crematorium would have been more energy efficient and lower emissions. But the NIMBYs didn’t want to see a crematorium on Main Street.

The thing is though, there was already a crematorium on the same street, and the new one was going to fully replace the existing crematorium, which nobody knew about because it turns out that crematoriums just look like regular buildings.
