There's an acronym for that attitude : NIMBY.

or Not In My Back Yard.

NIMBY (NIM.bee) acronym. A person who hopes or seeks to keep some dangerous or
unpleasant feature out of his or her neighborhood. —NIMBYism (NIM.bee.iz.um)
noun. The attitude of such a person.

or "What the eye doesn't see, the heart doesn't grieve"
or "Out of sight, out of mind"

all phrases for "turning a blind eye".

Doesn't mean it's not happening.

Cheers,

John
