>I'll fight for YIMBY policy til the bitter end
Man I'd just move if I lived somewhere like that. In fact, I did. There's infrastructure, dense housing, etc. I can select exactly what I want in the "affordability, amenities, commute" triangle and am supper happy with what I have. I also pretty much just walked in and filled out the application for my current apartment. There are condos around here that I can afford and I'm thinking about buying one soon. The trip to my parent's isn't too too long so I still visit them (and they visit me) a few times a month.
Let the NIMBYs have their crappy low density neighborhoods with half their neighbors living on their lawns. Don't be the man raging against the machine.

Unfortunately, we're still a tiny fraction of the region as a whole, and there's nothing we can do about the fact that most towns in greater Boston built enough housing to grow their population by maybe 1-3% in a decade (tragically including several with access to rapid transit) - while prices doubled almost everywhere here in the same time frame.
