>First off, you didn't say NIMBYism, you said NIMBY, and I'm pretty sure you understand the difference. If you really don't, I'll spell it out for you:
What you "spelled out" is not the generally understood definitions. I'm glad you're thinking for yourself, that's usually a good thing. Good on you!
That said, when using specific terms, it generally helps to use widely understood terms rather than your own definitons.
NIMBY[0]:
NIMBY (/ˈnɪmbi/, or nimby),[1] an acronym for the phrase "Not In My Back
Yard",[2][3] is *a characterization of opposition by residents to proposed real
estate development and infrastructure developments in their local area, as
well as support for strict land use regulations. It carries the connotation
that such residents are only opposing the development because it is close to
them and that they would tolerate or support it if it were built farther away.
The residents are often called nimbys, and their viewpoint is called nimbyism. *
The opposite movement is known as YIMBY for "yes in my back yard".[4]
Please note that the above, makes no mention of greed or virtue signaling for NIMBY or NIMBYism which are define as those folks (NIMBYs) with the attitudes/preferences called NiMBYism.
