A NIMBY is an acronym, we all know, for a person who while proclaiming to be in favor of progress and change says quite clearly but:

Not In My Back Yard

A BANANA is a bit more adamant he says:

Build Absolutely Nothing Anywhere Near Anybody

The really furious RAGE. This one is courtesy of Doug W. a brilliant environmental lawyer in NY. They are the:

Residents Against Goddamn Everything

This submission promoted a flock of posts with new anti development acronyms these from Arnie S. are the only two I could recover:

NOPE: Not On Planet Earth

TEDAO: Tear Everything Down At Once

We definitely need someone to build the Acronym-omatic I invented last year as an I-Phone application.

This is a repost of a repost of a post I wrote in 2010.
