Using local labels to communicate to an (inter)national audience is a bit foolish, I think.

In SF, we have a wealthy clique who are locally labeled as “progressives” and who are also contradictorily against new housing. They even veto’d building a new apartment complex on a parking lot!

I’d personally call that clique “NIMBY” since their “progressive” label is essentially designed for propagating denialism among the credulous.
