They think the YIMBYs are dismissing their concerns about gentrification and displacement. I'm not sure that's true, but either way, the YIMBY movement's image is of a bunch of affluent white tech workers who don't care about low-income, minority residents whose neighborhoods might get gentrified. That image will need to change if the YIMBYs want to succeed.
- wbl 8y agoMinorities in CA are more likely to support building more homes than whites.
- abalone 8y agoYes but not necessarily market-rate developments that accelerate gentrification and displacement. BMR housing, for sure.
- hunter23 8y agoI don't know why you are being downvoted - SFgate recently published an article talking about Yimby members yelling over minority groups and those minority groups basically called Yimby a bunch of "affluent white tech workers". So it's definitely a problem of Yimby not managing it's image and forming alliances well.
