B
NIMBY (not in my backyard) syndrome is a reflection of the attitude of many communities toward people who are mentally ill. In general, while most people support housing for people who are mentally ill, few want such housing near their own homes. This syndrome can also be seen in other areas such as halfway houses, garbage dumps, nuclear power plants, and airports. Communities want the services that these facilities provide; however, few want them in their own neighborhoods.
