NIMBYs and YIMBYs are well known in the UK housing debate: "Not In My Back Yard", and "Yes In My Back Yard".
Straightforwardly, NIMBYs are the people who object to the construction of new buildings near their property, and YIMBYs are those who oppose them.
Roko Mijic on wealthy NIMBY game theory
BANANAs are "Build Absolutely Nothing Anywhere Near Anyone".
SULTANAs on the other hand don't necessarily care about population density, infrastructure or ASB. SULTANAs believe "Stop Unconscionable Leasehold Tenure Anywhere Near Anyone" and favour a partial or total shutdown of house and flat building until new housing stops being a financial deathtrap for the owners.
