This one I don’t get.
SPRING HILL, Tenn. (WSMV) – People in the Southern Springs Retirement Community are upset about the possibility of a fire station replacing their old sales center.
Jim Elliott is part of the petition opposing the station. As of Thursday, they had received 550 signatures. He lives just ten feet away from the potential site.
He says when he purchased his new home in October, developers never mentioned the possibility of a fire station.
“The noise and the traffic would be really bad. And we just feel like there’s many other spots in Spring Hill that they could put another fire department,” Elliott said.

(Bold are mine)
This is a neighborhood where the need for quick emergency response should be a priority in the minds of the people living there. But you want to go NIMBY?
I hope they are successful, and the Fire Station is built somewhere else, and as far as possible that way the residents can stroke out and die in peace and silence.
