One of the most expensive markets nationwide, failing to deliver any trickle down benefits to the broader population from excess supply. YIMBY is an illusion, nothing short of purposeful deception.

YIMBY dogma has exacerbated the housing crisis, prioritizing profit via land value maximization over the fundamental human right to shelter—the pursuit of wealth extraction superseding the need for affordable housing.

57 of my fellow students were arrested, academically disciplined, and barred from campus 2 weeks before finals. And then the visas of some of those students were quietly revoked. And then the DEI office was killed. And then we watched our mentors’ grants evaporate over “woke”.

So, it is a universal truth that housing anywhere and everywhere is a purely competitive and homogeneous commodity? No need for science, just faith in the invisible hand? Interesting.

YIMBY is the empirically untenable belief that housing needs can be met by market demand. The latter is about buyers/investors who can afford to buy or rent. The former is actually securing socially equitable housing for which the market cannot do. assets.ctfassets.net/6sxvmndnpn0s...

This is not driven by the so-called forces of supply & demand. To counteract losses due to increased credit costs resulting from a long period of monetary austerity, landlords are lowering top-tier rents to attract tenants and fill vacant units. YIMBY is nothing but a scam.
