70+ Chapters across the US fighting for abundant housing that's inclusive, sustainable, and affordable. Legal enforcement: @YIMBY_Law
- We condemn SCOTUS for further criminalizing homelessness in the Grant's Pass decision today. Local governments are not providing enough homes for people who need them. Arresting people will not solve homelessness. We need more homes. Full statement: yimby.blog/yimby-action-a…
- Housing density is environmental conservation.
- Building a few townhouses will not ruin your neighborhood’s character actually.
- We call for an end to the eviction of Palestinians in Sheikh Jarrah. People should be able to live where they want, irrespective of their race, religion, or other factors. See our full letter here: bit.ly/2S6ycPo
- Environmentalism is incompatible with NIMBYismMayor Breed is not playing with NIMBYism anymore. "Let's be very clear: you cannot call yourself an environmentalist if you consistently oppose housing in San Francisco." @LondonBreed @SFEnvironment
00:00 - THIS 👏 IS 👏 WHY 👏YOUR 👏 VOICES 👏 MATTER!!! YIMBYs who are speaking up to support new housing are proving to our leaders that abundant housing is what the people want! We're setting the tone for pro-housing champions and growing a movement to change the status quo.“To the NIMBY movement that is now being replaced by the YIMBY movement, go YIMBYs” GOD DAMN ITS SO BEAUTIFUL 🥹
00:00 - Recent research has come to light demonstrating that NIMBYs would change their minds and support housing in most cases with just one more meeting! So we're starting the One More Meeting Campaign!
- Manhattan, 1931. Imagine what would have happened if they had stifled housing in the name of preserving neighborhood character. reddit.com/r/interestinga…
- Saying yes to housing means saying yes to: -Short commutes -Walkable neighborhoods -Diverse communities -Sustainable cities
