This article reads like meta-virtue signaling. The author criticizes his neighbours' yard signs, but he too lives in what is presumably a rich, homogeneous and exclusive neighbourhood - I've only ever seen those types of signs in those areas, rarely in a working-class neighbourhood. The author projects an image of a virtuous champion by calling out others for not doing enough, but as a beneficiary of exclusionary policies, how would he feel if his quality of life declined as a result of the values he champions in this article? I agree with the general sentiment about "front-yard politics" (aka virtue signaling), but instead of facing the reasons why people tend to shy away from substantial action, the author advocates for doubling down on counter-productive (and discriminatory) programs that disfavour working-class people. I question the author's honesty. All those words don't strike me as much more convincing than a sign in one's front yard.
