Barring eminent domain, YIYBY is impossible. It's always YIMBY.

I don't know, does new housing or municipal services get built in anyone's literal backyard? So it's not Your or My Backyard, really.
NIMBYism has always been about nosy people obstructing progress.

Definitely YIYBY.
If you're going to invent the term YIYBY are you willing to acknowledge far more NIYBY than NIMBY behavior?
