In-city land owning GenX here: YIMBY through and through. Been fighting for it at the city level for decades now.

I hate how stupid and short sighted so many people are. Selfishness has destroyed our cities, gutted our neighborhoods, and given our cities over to monopolies by driving out small and medium businesses. Cities and neighborhoods cannot be kept in amber. They either grow and adapt or they die.

Let’s start building our city core through dense housing, removing automobiles (they don’t make cities better, and they certainly destroy them), and making places for people instead of asphalt wastelands.

I think the thing that would help the most would be to get rid of single family only zoning. That should result in a lot more, higher density housing being built. However, that’s not going to bring down the price of single family homes. In fact, it would probably make them more expensive. Maybe not everyone would think that’s such a good thing, but it’s absolutely necessary if we want to reduce car dependency.

What a bunch of BS. Kamala Harris is pushing rent control – the complete opposite of Yimby.
