Actually, alot of the projects I've seen turned down are NOT funded by public money, just so you know. It's been private money, where the developers have consulted the community to see what they think, and it gets shot down because of the NIMBY attitudes and fears of change. And these projects were hardly controversial, at all. Just progressive and forward thinking, but there's people out there that don't agree with that.
