"Not In My Back Yard" as wikipedia describes it : "a pejorative characterization of opposition by residents to a proposed development in their local area" mostly it seems to be when middle-class people want, say, a new runway built but don't want their houses to be in the flyover zone, or demand sustainable power but don't wand wind turbines in sight of their gardens.
