Letter: NIMBY thinking endangers Yard South

PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • August 10, 2024

I looked at the 30-acre site map of Yard South in South Portland; it fits perfectly on a site largely vacant for decades except for boat trailer parking. It is for housing we need badly, but the usual NIMBY people are balking for the usual reasons: traffic, parking, too many people for area, etc. The 1,200 housing units, with retail, office space and other amenities, is just what South Portland needs. ~ Peter Ferrante, Portland
