I appreciate what those organizations are doing and I agree with their arguments, but like I said in my other top level reply to this article, I think those organizations would be more successful if they talked about why people should want more housing where they live specifically by focusing on the benefits for existing residents. Framing it entirely in terms of affordable housing or fighting homelessness or undoing racial segregation makes it really easy for people to take the position that we should absolutely build more housing in general, but why does it have to be where I live? The whole idea of NIMBYism is not necessarily opposing the idea of more housing, but just not wanting it in your neighborhood, and neither of those organizations seem to be making much of a counter-argument. I don't think YIMBY organizations should stop making those arguments, since it's certainly an important part of the debate. But I think they should also try appealing to people's self-interest by highlighting personal benefits like density building local businesses and services that wouldn't be possible otherwise. Give people a reason to not only want more housing, but want more housing where they already live.
