State
NIMBY, "not in my back yard," names residents' tendency to protest an unwanted land use, like a landfill, once it threatens them directly.
Show
Residents blocking a proposed waste facility near their homes, while objecting less to the same facility sited elsewhere, illustrate the pattern.
Watch for
NIMBY protests succeed more often in resourced neighborhoods, which redirects the unwanted project toward a less-resourced community.
Unlocks
