*'''''YIOBY''''' - ''Yes In Our Backyard''. Apparently coined by Laura Loe Berstein (@YIMBYsea), Seattle. <br/>
*'''''YIRBY''''' - Yes in Rich People's Back Yards. <br/> from Paul Musgrave [https://twitter.com/profmusgrave/status/1059798431802294272 @profmusgrave, 6 Nov 2018].<br/> "Most important: support YIMBY if you can but always support YIRBY—Yes In Rich People’s Backyards. Oppose candidates and laws that restrict development in our most valuable parcels."<br/>
*'''''YIYBY'''''<i>-</i> ''Yes, In Your Back Yard''. Pejorative variant of "YIMBY," suggesting that YIMBY advocates a) don't have yards of their own, and/or b) are really talking about building in other people's back yards. <br/> Seen in letter to the editor of ''East Bay Times ''by George Doddington, of ''Walnut Creek, NOV 17 2016. h''ttps://www.eastbaytimes.com/2017/11/17/letter-yimbyers-actually-have-no-backyards/.
In other words, trying to impose projects you do not want in your own backyard into somewhere that affects other people without affecting your personal comfort. https://www.motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2019/02/an-urban-plan-nearly-everyone-can-love-yes-in-your-backyard/ "Under this plan, his neighborhood will be untouched, while others will get exactly the kind of development he says he doesn’t want near him."<br /> Another example is that of a City of Portland's HUCIRP coordinator Katherine Lindsay who works with homeless professionally, but that becomes "dealing with transients" when they're camping in her own neighborhood and, complained to the city council of her suburban city urging them block the development of a 24 hour Walmart citing transient activity concerns.<ref>Testimony of Katherine Kalpakis (Katherine Lindsay) at Sherwood City council<nowiki/>https://web.archive.org/web/20170131134712/https://www.sherwoodoregon.gov/sites/default/files/fileattachments/city_council/meeting/1330/06.12.13_city_council_minutes.pdf</ref>

YIMBY is changing their name to the more accurate "Yuppies in My Backyard"."<br /> [http://tletimes.com/business/real-estate/downtown-seattles-construction-boom-surges-to-new-record-with-no-end-in-sight/. http://seattletimes.com/business/real-estate/downtown-seattles-construction-boom-surges-to-new-record-with-no-end-in-sight/. ]<br /> <br /> YIMBYwiki @YIMBYwiki [https://twitter.com/YIMBYwiki/status/954877297382735872 4:44 PM - 20 Jan 2018]<br /> Replying to @rihallix @SaveMarinwood and 4 others<br /> YIMBYwiki Retweeted YIMBYwiki<br /> #BeckyOMalley in Berkeley is on that angle already
