NIMBY is defined by the objection to housing only when it's in one's own backyard, and otherwise being perfectly happy to see it constructed elsewhere.
You describe HRC as opposing the the construction of high-end housing regardless of location — thus, whatever else it may or may not be, it certainly isn't NIMBY.
(The outcome may end up being that not enough housing is built, and that's of course terrible, but that's still not NIMBY, nor is it NIMBY-ism. It's some other form of idealism that isn't derived from the NIMBY principles.)
