NIMBYism

NIMBY (an acronym for the phrase "Not In My Back Yard"), or Nimby (as a word, instead of an acronym), is a pejorative characterization of opposition by residents to a proposal for a new development because it is close to them (or, in some cases, because the development involves controversial or potentially dangerous technology) often with the connotation that such residents believe that the developments are needed in society but should be further away. The residents are often called Nimbys and their state of mind is called Nimbyism.

Examples of projects likely to be opposed include any sort of housing development,bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure, skyscrapers, homeless shelters,oil wells, chemical plants, industrial parks, military bases, fracking,wind turbines, desalination plants, landfill sites, incinerators, power plants, quarries, prisons,pubs, adult entertainment clubs, concert venues, firearms dealers, mobile phone masts, electricity pylons, abortion clinics,children's homes, nursing homes, youth hostels, sports stadiums, shopping malls, retail parks, railways, roads, airports, seaports, nuclear waste repositories,storage for weapons of mass destruction,cannabis dispensaries and recreational cannabis shops.
