I don't live in San Francisco, and our local YIMBY group is getting things done, thank you very much. We helped nudge our local representatives towards passing HB2001 in Oregon, which will add to the supply of more affordable homes. We've helped get apartments built locally. We speak regularly with our city councilors.
It takes a lot more than being 'highly online' and YIMBY groups are doing that work.
- zamfi 5y agoNow that duplexes are allowed, how long does it take to get one approved?
- davidw 5y agoStill too long. The bill has not been fully implemented as cities have a few years to adapt it into their code. But you just keep pushing where you can.
- OldGoodNewBad 5y agoYou’ll find outside Portland that this is extremely unpopular and will eventually be defeated. Why don’t you keep your policies in your ruined destroyed burned unsafe city?
- jfrankamp 5y agoI've found density laws wildly accepted, its a building boom in Newberg as people add ADU's and more housing. I don't know where you get your information, but if you own a home in a growth boundary in a small town in Oregon, its "Lets build an ADU" time like never before.
- OldGoodNewBad 5y agoYou’re kidding, right? This flies contrary to what I’ve seen. Anyway Newberg is a suburb of Hillsburrito at this point.
