*'''NIMPLE''': '''N'''ot '''I'''n '''M'''y '''P'''ersonal '''L'''if'''E'''. A culture common among physicians, clinicians and mental health practitioners and social workers such as LCSW, CADC and QMHP who work with houseless drug addicts. The characteristics of this culture: Often do not want the general characteristics of their professional clients anywhere near their home. Not surprisingly, these people seek to establish strict boundaries between their professional and personal life. What they advocate professionally often diametrically opposed to what they value in their personal life. They may take the time to go complain about opposing issues that may attract people near their own house that fit the demographic of those they see in their professional life. Instead, they try to push their professional ideas away from where they live and away from their own children/grand children. People who participate in this ideology often don't want anything to do with ideas they pitch or clients they advocate for in their own personal life. As an example, City of Portland's OMF-HUCIRP program coordinator Katie Lindsay advocates for restrooms and safe drug injection sites<ref>https://oregonrecyclers.org/sites/oregonrecyclers.org//files/aor_2018_fall_forum_presentations.pdf</ref>(page 26), and suggested to homeless people to RV camp in Walmart parking lots.<ref name="HUCIRPLindsay"/>(page 8) However, When there was an impending threat that such destination was about to establish near her own personal house in Sherwood, she became a vocal opponent and voiced oppositions on the account of speculated "transient activities" "public intoxications" and "heavy crime"<ref name="HUCIRPLindsay"/>, which are essentially the same thing she is encouraging by promoting safe injection sites in some other people's backyard. Another example is a "harm reduction" advocating senior manager for Multnomah County who professionally advocates for "need based" syringe service (drug syringes handed out with no expectations of any being returned) in a position earning her over $100,000/year in salary, but retreats to an HOA community where IDUs and drug dealing are probably greatly frowned upon and personal activity includes being a HOA board member at an HOA whose members and board complain about "transients" coming into their HOA private property, and encampments around the HOA. HOA involvement can be seen as one of the NIMBYest activities out there. Essentially, "yes to toilets for the houseless, harm reduction approach, safe injection sites, people who use drugs only in other people's neighborhood", but "no to dealing with transients, heavy crime, public intoxication, IN MY COMMUNITY where I'm raising my children." On the other hand, outdoor store workers and animal care takers generally love outdoor activities and animals in their personal lives and have lesser boundaries about intersection between personal life and clients.
