Yes, but you can appreciate their point of view, even if it's bunk. Many people believe the Beltline is a boondoggle that doesn't provide them with any benefits. Some think they wouldn't like a public trail in their backyard. Others feel like they should be able to have a cookout or do a little sunbathing without having joggers and bikers passing by. And while one would hope a public trail in the backyard wouldn't increase pilferage or vandalism, I'm not sure I could vouch to these people that it's not a possibility.
