NIMBY: Difference between revisions

'NIMBY' was coined as, and generally remains, a critical and pejorative term, which people hardly ever use to self-identify. So if used as a term for a person (as opposed to say a&nbsp;''dynamic&nbsp;''or&nbsp;''syndrome),&nbsp;''it may be viewed as inherently polarizing.&nbsp;<br/> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;A relatively rare case of someone using NIMBY to self-identify is&nbsp;Jane Anne Morris, ''Not In My Back Yard: The Handbook''&nbsp;(1994), pictured at right. However, the sense in which she uses the term is more like,&nbsp;'''NIABY''', "Not In Anyone's Backyard," i.e. opposition to land-uses which it is argued should not happen at all, such as radioactive waste disposal.&nbsp;(See:&nbsp;[[NIMBY_and_YIMBY_related_terms|NIMBY and YIMBY related terms]]).&nbsp;<br/> &nbsp;
