NIMBYism probably isn't late stage capitalism, admittedly.
In a sense yes, since the class struggle was something that Marx discussed thoroughly, which includes the breakdown of class solidarity. I highly doubt most NIMBYs are dominated by the traditional elites, as elites are way more secluded in their gated communities and cul de sacs. But the same strategy by the elites of creating clear divisions, knowing real change would only happen with stronger class solidarity.
The professional class is pacified with mortgages, retirement and college savings, leisure, and real estate valuations.
Check out this great article on a formerly diverse neighborhood in NYC. Diverse not just in race but also in class. It's also a great example of how the elites have affected the urban environments, which were long-time bedrocks of the working class.

Everything is "their property". You can't sit on brownstone stoops. There's no social cohesion. A breakdown of social ties beyond the family. This is the end game of corporate capitalism, where everyone is a consumer.
Ironically, opponents of socialism believed that it would breakdown the family. And you saw that with Leninism. However, corporate capitalism has been way more ruthless in dismantling all social ties.
