ding, ding, ding, correct!

The Newport News Daily Press is given credit for this concept. At the time (1979-1980), there was a huge debate over the disposition of nuclear waste. Everyone knew that we needed to dispose of the waste, but no one wanted it disposed near their house. The concept has since been applied to new highways, new housing developments and a host of other projects that promote the overall good but may be locally undesirable.
