YIMBY stands for "Yes In My Back Yard", and is a person who has a build it at all costs mentality and no regard for heritage and public amenity. Often considered the 'useful idiots' of the property development industry, a YIMBY will often use social media to provide free astroturfing for the cause. The YIMBY is a polar opposite of a NIMBY.
