That case has nothing at all to do with Fracking.

It is about people wanting to build a 16-story water tower on a piece of property adjacent to lots that sold for 5 million bucks, where the buyer's lawyers had carefully confirmed that zoning would not permit such a structure. Because if you're building a house on a 5 million dollar lot, you kind of want to make sure there is no water tower in the future. Which is, after all, the purpose of zoning in the first place.

There is no more nexus with fracking than there is with providing drinking water to the locality.

This is what I meant a couple months ago when I referred to your "excitability". Just because some liberal blog attaches the word "fracking" does not mean it is a classic case of NIMBY. It is just a liberal blogger trying to excite you.

You have to read the underlying material if you're going to get past the excitability stage.
