https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/xenophobia includes "strangers".

In common parlance in the United States, NIMBYism includes opposition to housing. That is also what we're talking about in this thread.

Maybe in your little bubble, but not generally.

If you want, replace all instances of "NIMBYism" in my text with your preferred term. Maybe "housing NIMBYism"?

You'll see that the changes don't actually make a difference to any of my arguments.
