Had to beat back the YIMBY hoard with a few dozen blocks. Max Dubler from California YIMBY apparently was irked by my posts and replied and quote-posted me multiple times, and his flock took the cue that it was time to swarm. I guess that's how his days go, directing swarms toward non-believers.
Like all well-trained cultists, YIMBYs think they have an answer for everything.
But, like all brainwashed cultists too high on their own supply, their arguments are pretty easy to refute.

The real Mother Jones, a founder of the IWW, would roll in her grave if she saw her name on a piece promoting market fundamentalism, aka trickle-down economics, or "abundance" in modern liberal geek-speak. This 5,000-word hagiography of Scott Weiner by @jetjocko.bsky.social is just more YIMBY tripe.
