NIMBY or Nimby (an acronym for the phrase "not in my back yard")

FROM HERE

NIMBY or Nimby (an acronym for the phrase "not in my back yard") is a pejorative characterization of opposition by residents to a proposal for a new development because it is close to them, often with the connotation that such residents believe that the developments are needed in society but should be further away. Opposing residents themselves are sometimes called Nimbies.

Projects likely to be opposed include but are not limited to tall buildings, chemical plants, industrial parks, military bases, wind turbines, desalination plants, landfills, incinerators, power plants, prisons,[1] mobile telephone network masts, schools, kindergartens, nuclear waste dumps, youth hostels, wind farms, golf courses, sports stadiums, housing developments, and especially transportation improvement schemes (e.g. new roads, passenger and freight railways, highways, airports, seaports).

The NIMBY concept may also apply more generally to people who advocate some proposal (for example, austerity measures like budget cuts, tax increases, or downsizing), but oppose implementing it in a way that would require sacrifice on their part.
