I agree with your literal definition of NIMBY but also find it weird to be used to describe someone not wanting a casino built in their neighborhood. Like opposing new housing is imo purely selfish but I think there are reasonable objections to a casino

Reply to Mass. State Police to set up sobriety checkpoint starting Thursday in Bristol County by LackingUtility
I've had to drive route 24 for work lately and it seems like there are more drunk drivers (or at least, very erratic drivers) than normal. I'm sure the checkpoints will be a clusterfuck that doesn't help anything but it does seem to be a legit problem
