I am not sure I follow: there are many anti-housing, and pro-rent public personalities (I did not know "pro-rent public personalities" is even thing) who oppose more supply side competition that would lead to lower prices, but somehow also support renters? Frankly, someone who is "anti-housing but pro-renter" sounds simply like a landlord? PS: I am sure that's not what you intended, but I'd appreciate it if you avoided that condescending tone. My argument doesn't rely on your sympathy, and reframing an argument as narrative doesn't help either. It puts into doubt all good faith you may have in a discussion.

I'm thinking of the many voices on the left who oppose building more housing because it might change neighborhood character. I don't know what neck of the woods you live in but this group is quite vocal here in NYC. Sorry for the lack of clarity on my part. Also, my tone was not intended to be condescending. I wanted to be let know if I was wrong, genuinely. I am eager to update if there are other places where the renters are identifiably and largely YIMBY, because that would break some of my personal beliefs about the housing market. Any my lack of sympathy is for the narrative -- which I've heard many times before -- not you personally. I'm positive that you are great.
