Anti-gun wackos would be one. Environmentalists for being close to the park. Anti-car people because it would have added parking. You'll always have someone opposing a project. You could probably have a NIMBY design and submit their own yet still manage to complain about it at the public meeting for it.
I see it non-stop in architecture and a lot of the letters you get to read or meetings you attend can be really unhinged or are really stupid, with people willing to oppose projects that provide a net benefit to its community over some trivial thing they see as an issue, or just because they don't want it there at all. They'd prefer to shoot themselves in the foot in spite, rather than support something that has more positives than negatives.
Why is being anti-gun wacko? Spokes edited the title post of this thread because of the "politics". Maybe he will edit out the politics of your post.
