so what they fought was a home-based business that could be disruptive and obstructive to the area.

Saying 'but it was a daycare' is an appeal to emotion, right? I want to make sure I have the right name.

This logic could apply to any business, anywhere in the city and forms the basis for NIMBYism. Does this mean we shouldn't build anything anywhere in Vancouver again?
