They specific example GP gave was locals being opposed to something. That is textbook nimbyism.

Happy for other examples that would demonstrate nuance, but that isn't it.

That would be part of it for sure.

Locally there is opposition to gold mining. People in the region oppose it and with a broad definition of ‘NIMBY’ you’d be right. But neighbouring valley, town, region etc is a broad definition.

Do any of those people have gold jewellery or gold-plated contacts on their electronics?
