I meant Norway, but you can compare Russian GDP per capita with Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Austria, Germany, UK, Ireland and so on. It will always be 2x or 3x higher. This discussions to me looks like if Central African Republic, Niger and Nigeria would dickmeasure who is the richest in therms of GDP per capita. Ridiculous
Tabula rasa.

Let me give you an example why NIMBY is good for environment.
There is a Nabala carst area in limestone/dolomite layers south of Lake Ülemiste, not far from Tallinn. Tallinn gets part of its drinking water from that watershed. There is economic pressure to mine that limestone/dolomite for gravel for road building - it would be "cheaper" to use that instead of using the leftover limestone/dolomite from the oil shale mines in north-eastern Estonia. "Cheaper" in economic sense would dry the wells of quite a large area south of Tallinn, including the "boiling" Tuhala witch-well.

There was a local NIMBY resistance to the development (some 50 000 people signed a petition) and it looks like there will be no mining.
