Another NIMBY Challenge In Nantucket, This One Challenging Public Waterfront Access

The Boston Globe is reporting on NIMBY opposition to a clam shack on Nantucket's Straight Wharf. It seems that residents of the adjacent North Wharf are concerned that the clam shack will increase noise in the neighborhood and, according to the article, the North Wharf residents already have to hire police in the summer to protect themselves against too much "revelry" on Nantucket's waterfront.

Now it is one thing when NIMBYs on Nantucket are merely denying us the renewable energy we desperately need (see my January 25 posting This NIMBY lawsuit is doomed but that doesn't mean that it won't cause considerable harm before it dies, https://insights.mintz.com/post/102i63g/this-nimby-lawsuit-is-doomed-but-that-doesnt-mean-that-it-wont-cause-considerab) but this most recent NIMBY challenge could deny us fried food and soft ice cream and that's a bridge, or should I say wharf, too far.
