C.A.V.E. is an acronym for Citizens Against Virtually Everything. CAVE people, often self-proclaimed "activists", oppose most any proposal for change within a community. Topics subject to their protest include new development, infrastructure changes, or public policy changes. CAVE people will oppose a proposal entirely, instead of suggesting a change that could minimize impact. They are rarely open to compromise.
