I’m a YIMBY. I think we need to build a shit load of apartments. I don’t care whether it’s state-owned or private. If we wanted to build a shit ton of public housing, we’d need to implement YIMBY policies anyway.
I don’t really know if Marxism is relevant here, but I see bourgeois NIMBY homeowners trying to keep property values high at the expense of everyone else as a common enemy everyone needs to fight against.
No, and it is because YIMBYs do not support the building of new housing. They say they do, but their records have shown that they are liars. YIMBY policies are policies that might build a McDonalds or a super thin skyscraper or two but they have never built housing.
Donald Trump is a YIMBY, we shouldn’t be.
