Conflict over facility siting has become increasingly common across facility types and neighborhoods throughout the United States. This article posits that the conflict about facility siting stems from the distinct roles played by the state (with a central role played by planners), the shadow state (consisting of voluntary and nonprofit organizations), and interest groups (primarily community residents). This article explores the similarities and differences in perception toward controversial facilities for two of these three actors: the state (represented by planning directors) and interest groups (in this case, community residents). To investigate the similarities and differences between resident and planner perceptions, this article analyzes the first national survey of resident attitudes, which included both environmental and human service facilities, and a recent national survey of planning directors. Implications of this analysis for understanding facility siting, community opposition, and planning responses are discussed.
