Disney goes NIMBY*

That noted haven of enlightenment, the Disney Corporation, has taken steps to sue the city of Anaheim for daring to have the temerity to push forward with a plan that would put low cost housing into what it terms "the resort zone". According to Rob Doughty, a spokesman for Disneyland Resort:

"Our concern is, this could quickly unravel the Anaheim Resort area and the golden egg that it is for Anaheim."

And you wouldn't want to let poor people near a "golden egg" because gold is valuable and poor people either ruin or steal valuable stuff. Right Rob?
