forced to think about housing and transportation way too much
My only point is if you are meeting YIMBYs against housing, then they aren't YIMBYs. At least if words still mean things

The entire point of the YIMBY thing is letting people build what they want
November 26, 2025 at 10:26 PM
“Plenty of YIMBYs are against different types of building”

Unless you are maybe talking about more exurban low density development, I can’t imagine what you are talking about

Why would there be a single answer? Housing is a Gordian knot. Does it help build more housing? Then YIMBYs support it

I have disagreements when people’s “solutions” only try to limit demand (banning all the investors and Airbnb’s will not end a shortage). Otherwise YIMBY is pretty clear

It means you support more housing (in your neighborhood). I’ve always been a fan of how clear that is

CA needs to address Article 34 before this is even an option.

Also worth noting IME I have never heard “anti-YIMBYs” talk about why public housing doesn’t get built. Only YIMBYs

Idk if YIMBYs particularly care either way, except for how anything built by the gov ends up costing magnitudes more.

Also public housing is basically impossible in CA due to Article 34 requiring voter approval

Will, is there a single place in the country where the base zoning allows for multi family development and yet the only thing that is built is single family homes ? Does that happen anywhere at all ?
