NIMBY (Not In My Backyard)
NIMBY stands for Not In My Backyard. The term refers to the tendency for individuals to oppose having certain developments located near their homes, even though they may not be opposed to those developments in theory. Consider a halfway house, for example; residents might argue against having a halfway house located next door, even if they aren't uniformly opposed to halfway houses in general.
