The new NIMBY

I literally laughed out loud when I read this post on a friend's Facebook page:

This story (about residents signing a petition to prevent the building of a new low-rise seniors' residence in their suburban neighbourhood, citing fears of noise and vandalism and elderly people watching what they're barbecuing) inspired my friend John McGrath to coin a new term: instead of NIMBYs (Not In My Back Yard), what we have here are BANANAs (Build Absolutely Nothing, Anywhere Near Anything). That seems to be the new attitude.

 Subsequently the friend said he had not invented the term but learned it one summer working at the Ontario Ministry of Energy. 

I LOVE it!
