NIMBY is the natural phenomenon of being TERRITORIAL. Short for 'not in my backyard', Nimby is used to describe residents who oppose property development near where they live.
A popular tactical tool, the word NIMBY is often used by property developers, supporters of same and pro development government decision makers in an attempt to destroy public support for residents, labelling those who oppose new developments within their own residential locality as selfish and subculture. However, NIMBY, the art of being territoral has been practiced by most living creatures big or small since nature created them to present day.

A person who whines and pisses about the noise coming from a local airport or racetrack. Most of these people should have known better ......
I moved next to Los Angeles International Airport in 1994, and the noise is incredible! I'm going to set up an action group. We will then complain to the local authorities and FORCE the airlines to spend MILLIONS just to keep the noise down.
(I should have used my BRAIN before purchasing a house under the flightpath! The local racetrack was here BEFORE I WAS BORN, and in actual fact has EVERY RIGHT to make noise. For some reason I didn't wonder why the house was so cheap in the first place .....)
