That's not my experience with NIMBY coalitions. They're usually saying things like "more supply increases prices". I know it's a bit of a baptist-and-bootleggers dynamic, between self-interested homeowners and dumb but sympathetic activists. But the idea that undersupply contributes to high prices runs directly counter to NIMBY goals or strategy.
- daniel-cussen 4y agoI talked to one NIMBY into becoming a YIMBY by telling her more construction--ultimately--brings down prices. Telling her about Santiago, people pay $100 rent here, no problem, and it's for basically the same thing, a lock on a door in a megacity, near public transport, an elevator, everything. Everything. Just need to get the word out.
