> NIMBYs want to protect some aspects of a particular place usually because it is their home.

this is the reflex, and it's a sensible one to have. but the perception of what is or isnt a threat can range from something legitimate across the board ("I dont want a giant thing taking all the power and pumping my head full out sound 100% of the time near my home") to the truly detrimental ("I should get to be the last one moving into this area. Me moving to a place is good and fine; other people moving to where I live constitutes destruction. No new housing.")

NIMBYs forget they moved to where they live from somewhere, and they are not more important than other people on a societal level.
