...but only as it refers to people who object to a proposed real estate development that is close to where they live. Some NIMBY movements generate online petitions that get signed by others who live nowhere near the proposed development, so they would be sort of second-order NIMBYs.

The examples you cite all fall within NIMBYism. However, your first paragraph seems to describe actions a bit broader than straight NIMBYism.

The other term known to land planners and zoning people is BANANA: Build Absolutely Nothing Anywhere Near Anyone.
