Not in my backyard. A derogatory term for someone who opposes building, or other altercations to where they live. Usually because of concerns over their real estate prices or neighborhood character or whatever
To add to that: NIMBY opposition to certain developments only extends to their immediate surroundings, i.e. they'd oppose a new power plant if it's built in proximity to their property but not if it's built across town. Their resistance is inherently lacking solidarity and merely egoistic. They'd even condemn resistance to a development somewhere else that they'd oppose in their neighbourhood.
