YIMBY is a very, very broad group of people who just see how bad the housing crisis is and want to fix it, and realize that a big chunk of that fix is legalizing housing that's perfectly normal in much of the world.
Don't lump us in with the out of control tech bro culture people like Musk.
- hot_gril 2y agoLooks like "really YIYBY, NIMBY" was an attempt to narrow it down
- davidw 2y agoThey are saying that YIMBYs "really want to build in your backyard, not their own" which is nonsense.

- davidw 2y agoThat guy isn't really a YIMBY then is he?
- hot_gril 2y agoSome of them do, or they're only YIMBY until they own something
- davidw 2y agoI 'own something' and advocated for some apartments right down the street from me.
