Pompano Beach: NIMBY Goes to MLK Blvd.

NIMBY: "Not-In-My-Back-Yard"

If the rest of a community is opposed to something, and if that "something" is a business or institution that just about every community will support at the end of the day, then it will eventually end up in the least desirable part of the community by default.

These two photos of businesses that are located along MLK Blvd in Pompano Beach, Fla. say it all.


PS. In researching another post I discovered that there are three Broward Sheriff's Office prison facilities within blocks of these two corners of MLK Blvd in Pompano Beach.

Talk about NIMBY! But hey, if Hammondville Road was just renamed five years ago to MLK Blvd, you have to ask how smart it is to name the road that goes through this kind of an industrial park in honor of one of America's greatest heroes.
