Japanese term or phrase: 嫌悪施設
I am looking for a professional term for 嫌悪施設、other than the colloquial "NIMBY".
A 嫌悪施設 refers to an unpopular facility that local communities don't want around: like a landfill or nuclear waste site.

Any suggestions?

どうぞ宜しくお願い致します。

Unwanted but necessary project(s)


Explanation:
It's kind of long, but it sums up the acronym NIMBY well enough.
Hope this helps.

neutral  Nathan Takase: This may work with the asker's context or most cases of English usage of NIMBY, but would not always work for 嫌悪施設. For example, 嫌悪施設 could refer to a pachinko parlor, which is obviously not necessary.

  -> Pachinko parlors generate revenue and jobs for the community. These are "necessary" aren't they?

This is the term often used, though not enough info to be sure it fits your context.

Google it to confirm if this is the nuance you are looking for.
