"State officials hatched a plan to bring 1,100 jobs to the small town of
Nickerson, Nebraska (population 400), and were surprised to find
unanimous disapproval from the town council and most of the community."
Via Cindy Brown, who wrote: "Everything changes. That's the one
unchangeable fact of human life. We need to look at ways for productive,
constructive, beneficial change."
Yonatan Zunger also reshared this and added:
"This is a very well-written article about the basic fact that
communities will change, no matter what you do: the decision to not make
a certain change isn't a vote for stability, but for whatever changes
follow from that decision. This is an important idea, and one that's
often critically absent from discussions about things like
'gentrification.'"
