NIMBYs in 1887 Tried To Stop The Eiffel Tower From Being Built

Sometimes you learn that the not in my backyard can stop something that really is transformational for a country. Whats incredible is we would never know if the 1887 petitioners got their way. A petition by NIMBYs in 1887 against the Eiffel Tower sounds a lot like contemporary arguments against projects. Had opponents succeeded, nobody today would realize what had been lost. The cost of NIMBYism is in what is not built.
