                                            Washington Post editorial: 
In defense of the White House ballroom 
Donald Trump vs. the NIMBYs 
                                                
    
    
    
    
            I canβt believe there are not one but two articles, in major papers, with this dumb framing. It is not NIMBY to express dismay when a big part of the White House is suddenly rubbled
