BANANA

"BANANA" is an acronym that stands for either "Build Absolutely Nothing Anywhere Near Anything" or "Build Absolutely Nothing Anywhere Near Anyone". The term is used to criticise the ongoing opposition of certain interest groups to land development.
The term criticises activists who apparently oppose every instance of proposed development, which may give the impression that the activist seeks to see no new growth.
Compare with the much better known acronym NIMBY, which describes situations where development is protested by local groups who do not want the development in "their backyard".
