Take the NIMBY Challenge

Challenge:  Who coined the word NIMBY?

Thinking ManAnswer: Nicholas Ridley (February 17, 1929 to March 4, 1993) was a British Conservative Party politician and government minister*.  As Secretary of State for the Environment from 1987 to 1989, Mr. Ridley was credited with popularizing the phrase NIMBY or Not In My Back Yard for those who as a reflex opposed any building development.

It was soon revealed that Ridley opposed a low cost housing development near a village where he owned a property. The United Kingdom is currently experiencing a widespread epidemic of NIMBYism that recently led to the death of a farmer seeking wind energy for his property.

Be sure to check out the Slevin Group website.  Find out for yourself why Mr. Slevin is considered the best in the nation at helping corporations overcome costly community opposition.

Mr. Slevin can be reached at 850.906.9888 or email him at pslevin@slevingroup.com.
