Mostly complaints come from AGC (Association of General Contractors). Of course they have money and political influence. I think lack of supplies is a small part of it, the bigger issue is that we are the only part of a much larger English based Construction industry, and now the only major player in the highway industry that is still metric. It's hard to stand alone.
Not sure what is left in Albany but I doubt there is much metric signage. Perhaps on I-81 near the border.

I remember those guys well :) I was born and raised mostly in and around Albany and New York City. Are the local and county builders objections because they don't want to learn metric or because of a lack of metric building supplies or what? I really hope they don't switch back, it'll just make it that much harder when they finally decide to go metric on road signage and whatnot. If I remember right from my trips to Toronto the highway leading into Canada had metric markings on it for a few km before the border. In fact I seem to recall that even parts of Albany had metric signage like around the airport and places. Mike -- "The boy is dangerous, they all sense it why can't you?"
