Ive lived in California my entire life and Ive never heard of NIMBY.

NIMBY = "Not in my back yard"

It's an attitude where you support things as long as they don't personally effect you. So things like supporting nuclear power, as long as one isn't built near your neighborhood. Or supporting an increase in immigration, as long as none of them live in your gated community. Or supporting doing more for the homeless, as long as they're not allowed to set up a tent city outside your office. Etc....
