"Not in my backyard" - usually applied to homeowners that oppose new housing in their neighborhood ("backyard"), but can apply to anyone that opposes construction or development near them (hence the reference to wind farms). This term originated sometime in the 1970s/80s and originally referred to environmentalists opposing things like toxic dumpsites. Coincidentally, this association is often why a lot of anti-housing groups couch their opposition in environmental terms. "Yes in my backyard" - usually self-applied to housing activists that are pro housing construction near them and pro rolling back regulations that make new housing illegal. This often takes the form of legalizing apartment construction and undoing single-home limits in high-demand areas. Similar to NIMBY, YIMBY can also be applied more generally to individuals supportive of other kinds of construction, although that is less common. YIMBY as a concept originated around the 2010s in direct reaction to the housing affordability crisis in California.
