"Ew why would we want disabled people using our station"

Probably.

Ugh NIMBYs are the worst

Georgetown in DC is worse: doesn't even have a metro stop anywhere in Georgetown. Officially, geography (Georgetown is very hilly). Unofficially? Keep the poors out.

My brother lived on Cape Cod years ago when they were debating bringing rail service from Boston to the Cape.

The locals opposed it, even though traffic on the Cape is absolutely brutal in summer, because “we don’t want the trash from Boston getting out here” aka keep the poor people out.

The MTA would have to build a new entrance for the station and the NIMBYs basically say that it would bring too much foot traffic and noise to this one street or something. Plus construction noise and the usual NIMBY spin-the-wheel of bullshit.
