Morris,

The original term NIMBY has inspired many spin-off terms, including YIMBY. Here we collect them: 

  • AIMBY: Already In My Back Yard: the position that a given land use is already concentrated in some area, and should be distributed to other areas. For example, a concentration of low-income housing or social services facilities.  [contributed via Twitter from an activist in San Jose, California, opposing new Affordable Housing facilities in her neighborhood]. 
     
  • NIABY: Not In Anyone's Bay Yard:  term to describe opposition to land-uses which should not be allowed anywhere - for example, unregulated industrial polluters.  Note, this is meaning mainly expressed by 'NIMBY' in Jane Anne Morris, "Not In My Back Yard: The Handbook" (1994), pictured at right. 
     
  • QIMBY - Quality in My Back Yard
     
  • YIMBY
    • Yes In My Back Yard (primary)
    • Yes In Many Back Yards (original usage, 1988. See YIMBY_movement). 
       
  • YIOBY - Yes In Our Backyard.  Apparently coined by Laura Loe Berstein (@YIMBYsea), Seattle.
