Humans are very strange. We had a new highway built bypassing our small town. People started getting killed on it because of some design choices. It had only been around a year, but some people did not want it changed. Needless to say, the state is making some changes that will lead to less people getting killed on it. People get attached to things irrationally and just seem to have an anti-change attitude.

I don't think this is a good example. People are afraid that we will not gain but lose functionality and usability in favor of appearance.
