What does "NIMBY" mean?
A person who whines and pisses about the noise coming from a local airport or racetrack. Most of these people should have known better ......
I moved next to Los Angeles International Airport in 1994, and the noise is incredible! I'm going to set up an action group. We will then complain to the local authorities and FORCE the airlines to spend MILLIONS just to keep the noise down.
(I should have used my BRAIN before purchasing a house under the flightpath! The local racetrack was here BEFORE I WAS BORN, and in actual fact has EVERY RIGHT to make noise. For some reason I didn't wonder why the house was so cheap in the first place .....)

NIMBY - meaning
NIMBY is the natural phenomenon of being TERRITORIAL. Short for 'not in my backyard', Nimby is used to describe residents who oppose property development near where they live.
A popular tactical tool, the word NIMBY is often used by property developers, supporters of same and pro development government decision makers in an attempt to destroy public support for residents, labelling those who oppose new developments within their own residential locality as selfish and subculture. However, NIMBY, the art of being territoral has been practiced by most living creatures big or small since nature created them to present day.

This can also be referred to NIMBYism. NIMBYism is when people protests against proposed projects like city projects, and cause alot of trouble by protesting.

2) They want to build Skytrain to Richmond on Cambie St. and the NIMBYs are pissed off already!
3) Man Vancouver has alot of dogway loving NIMBYs!!!
NIMBY
If any community agrees action X is required for the good of the whole community, the resistance of a subgroup of this community sparked by (short-term) disadvantages affecting this smaller group is known as NIMBY-behaviour.
Generally speaking, people will want to benefit from the advantages, but disadvantages are suddenly unacceptable. (Also see freerider).
We wanted to build a bunch of windmills near city Y, but those NIMBY idiots keep blocking our plans.
NIMBY
Not In My BackYard: a person who opposes particular construction or projects in their community. Particularly prominent in New York City.
Good NIMBYism: Jane Jacobs opposing the construction of the Lower Manhattan Expressway, which would have eviscerated the present-day neighborhoods of SoHo, Greenwich Village, and TriBeCa; Jackie Kennedy saving Grand Central Terminal from demolition and replacement with an office tower.
Bad NIMBYism: Fighting the development of a nearby tall building because it might block your view; opposing a new subway line or water tunnel, which would benefit the city for years to come, because of construction noise in your neighborhood; opposing the expansion of the museum across the street because of minor inconveniences, even though it's the primary reason that your property is so valuable. I.E.: Being selfish
Iffy: People who fight LULUs, or Locally Unwanted Land Uses: developments or institutions that are needed, but that nobody wants near them, like homeless shelters or power plants.
Other forms of NIMBY include the NOPE
(Not On Planet Earth), the BANANA (Build Absolutely Nothing Anywhere Near Anyone), and the TEDAO (Tear Everything Down At Once).
NIMBY
