Join your local YIMBY group! There are so many extremely polarized, "trench warfare" issues in politics. I feel this is one where there's room for real, bipartisan progress.

"Reforming local land use controls is one of those rare areas in which the libertarian and the progressive agree. The current system restricts the freedom of the property owner, and also makes life harder for poorer Americans. The politics of zoning reform may be hard, but our land use regulations are badly in need of rethinking."

- TulliusCicero 9y agoIt's more like YIEBY. YIMBYs want more housing pretty much everywhere there's high demand. It's like they want the market to be able to match demand with...supply, or something weird like that.
