In Nimby Sentiments, a Gender Divide - NYTimes.com


According to a nationwide telephone survey of 1,000 people last June by the Saint Consulting Group, support for local projects with potentially negative environmental consequences is uniformly higher among men than among women. In fact, apartments and condominiums are the only kind of local development that women are more likely to support than men.

Not shocking.

Projects more likely to be opposed would be more of the oil refinery, power station etc. type place which is much more likely to employ men.

The health risks are much more likely to be perceived by women with regards to their kids.

Meanwhile, they jam their cellphone up against the side of their head all day, when they aren't texting and driving with their kids in the backseat.

I think he's referring to the social environment rather than the natural environment.

I bet there is a HUGE NIMBY divide between homeowners and renters.
