	NIMBY - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		NIMBY (an initialism for Not In My Back Yard) is an acronym for the phenomenon in which residents oppose a development as inappropriate for their local area, but by implication do not oppose such development in another's.
		NIMBY and its derivative terms NIMBYism, NIMBYs, and NIMBYists, refer implicitly to debates, of development generally or a specific case, and as such their use is inherently contentious.
		Also, it is a relatively recent term, the first printed usage of which the Oxford English Dictionary identifies as being in 1980 in the Christian Science Monitor, and the nuances of which are still disputed.

		The blame for the detrimental effects that NIMBY suits have on both the environmental justice movement and the spirit of environmental laws cannot be placed solely on the members of the community.
		Although NIMBY suits often involve concerns over environmental hazards, they are more often then not politically palatable fronts for concerns such as decline in property value or a desire to shift the project away from neighborhoods with political influence.
		NIMBY suits often result in the loss of facilities that would have had a positive benefit for the community and the environment because of the expense of going through a judicial proceeding.

	NIMBY Case Studies: Introduction
		NIMBY (Not In My Back Yard) is a term used to describe citizens' desires to prevent certain land uses near their homes or communities.
		NIMBYism is often associated with sophisticated zoning ordinances implemented by large urban jurisdictions; however, developers of rural low-income and special-use housing must also combat community opposition.
		The NIMBY phenomenon not only hurts individuals and groups who are excluded from decent housing, it prevents communities of all sizes from enjoying the benefits of diversity.

	Conclusion: Lessons Learned
		The reader is once again cautioned that every NIMBY conflict is unique and that these generalizations may not apply to his or her specific situation.
		NIMBY conflicts and compromises can add years to project development periods and cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.
		At least one of the NIMBY conflicts presented in this publication, that surrounding the development of Elm Park, resulted in state legislation that will increase developers' likelihood of being able to build low-income housing beyond the boundaries of the community involved in the original conflict.

	Where should power lines go when people cry NIMBY?
		The NIMBY mentality is generally characterized by agreement that a certain idea or project itself is good and necessary, just as long as it isn’t too close to my property.
		The NIMBY mentality is alive and well as we work with property owners in Waunakee and elsewhere who are impacted by our projects.
		NIMBY is not a legitimate reason for us to look elsewhere to locate a power line, particularly when the alternatives suggested to us by Savannah Village resident Robin Stearns and others would require us to place a line in someone else’s backyard, at a higher cost.

	Harry Willson's Rant July 2003, "Two Kinds of NIMBY"
		Some DOE officials, and many commentators, dismissed our protest as simply NIMBY: "Not In My Back Yard." The whole process is starting up again, as the U.S. government, in blatant violation of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, begins to plan to build a new generation of plutonium- triggered hydrogen bombs, as many as 20,000 of them.
		The local discussion seems to be limited mostly to the question of where to put the factory -- in Carlsbad, already polluted by WIPP, or in Los Alamos, already polluted vastly worse, by 60 years of arrogant carelessness and denial in the process of inventing and "improving" nuclear weapons.
		NIMBY has a twin brother, NIML -- "Not In My Lifetime." The lethality of plutonium is too slow and too random for people to take seriously.
