You’re wrong:

a person who does not want something unpleasant to be built or done near where they live

Another!

a colloquialism signifying one’s opposition to the locating of something considered undesirable in one’s neighborhood.

Maybe one more?

opposition to the locating of something considered undesirable (such as a prison or incinerator) in one's neighborhood

He said he's all for them banning it as any reasonable jurisdiction must do. He'll just use them if they decide to ruin their streets.
