| I think you're describing NIMBY, which is more of a US/SF thing (but also is a case in Europe to some extent). |

| NIMBY is an universal human concept, it's present everywhere - Europe, Asia, South America. It may come in different flavours but it's everywhere. People don't welcome changes to the surrounding environment if it doesn't benefit them more or less directly. |
