Not in my back yard, or NIMBY for short, is a common phrase describing the opposition by residents to proposed real estate and infrastructure developments in their local area, as well as support for strict land use regulations. It carries the connotation that such residents are only opposing the development because it is close to them and that they would tolerate or support it if it were built farther away. The residents are often called nimbys, and their viewpoint is called nimbyism.
