It's hilarious (by which I mean facepalm worthy) that people spend so much effort trying to distance YIMBY from the right and from libertarians. Their movement isn't exactly built in the image of Ron Fucking Paul and it does do a lot of steamrolling municipalities which the more socially right types don't like but despite that they've created something the rights seems able to like at least not take issue with on the principal level. And so a lot of these "righter" types do support it, despite there being some minor elements and undertones they might not like. But as soon as someone to the right of center actually tries to fan the flames or actually endorse anything, all the lefties who make up the bulk of movement get all pissed off because it's "their movement".
Any sane person would be happy they've found something that almost the entire political spectrum considers common ground. Winners like that are rare. Embrace it.
