When a neighborhood action group is formed, it is almost always 'against' something, and again, almost always that something is in that neighborhood. It may be a tree someone wants to cut down, or a home someone wants to build; it could be a variance someone wants, or an amenity someone wants to install.
We've had a bunch of these groups started in the Madison/Chatham area, and without exemption they have brought out the worst in the local citizenry. Neighborliness, dialog and compromise give way to lawyering up, bullying tactics and outlandish, worst-case scenarios. We should be ashamed. And here is the rest of it.
