As Secretary of State Colin Powell warned President George W. Bush before the invasion of Iraq, “You are going to be the proud owner of 25 million people. You will own all their hopes, aspirations, and problems. You’ll own it all." It's known as the 'Pottery Barn Rule': You break it? You own it.

America's rising generations need an affordable rental market and housing market more than anyone. Entire generations have grown up thinking that they will never own a house and that they must choose between the city they dream of living in and having money for groceries.

Is Trump a reckless, vengeful, and erratic lunatic whose sheer incompetence means that not only is he full of bad ideas, he's also doomed to fail spectacularly every time at his own his stated aims as well? Can't be!

We can promise you that Zohran isn't coming, though! He's freshly Mayor for 3 days, and this isn't the time for bragging. It's the time for doing. 💪🇺🇸🗽 Maybe get on the mailing list for 2027? 😉

020

YIMBY Democrats for America 🇺🇸🗽 @yimbydems.bsky.social · 03/01/2026

Stay tuned. 👀 😉 If you think we're not looped in to Zohran's administration and the amazing folks working to bring Progressive Abundance to life in NYC, think again! So, maybe a few, and maybe a virtual appearance. They are on their first month on the job 3,000 miles away. Happy to let 'em work! 😍

YIMBY Democrats for America 🇺🇸🗽 @yimbydems.bsky.social · 03/01/2026

He's pretty busy right now, passing YIMBY executive orders. You know who he is affiliated with, though? His hand-selected YIMBY deputy mayor and YIMBY housing committee.

131

YIMBY Democrats for America 🇺🇸🗽 @yimbydems.bsky.social · 03/01/2026

Appreciate it! Signing off for now, but would be down to hop on a call sometime and chat in more depth, since the character limit erases nuance. We can probably agree that legalizing housing in areas with good infrastructure but few homes can help us avoid choices between strain and nothing!

010

YIMBY Democrats for America 🇺🇸🗽 @yimbydems.bsky.social · 03/01/2026

You may well be right! It's just... not in evidence in the article cited, which critiques the current environment but doesn't offer support for why ADUs will make it worse or don't belong? There should be a high bar to justify taking homes away from people, with the burden of proof on the objector.

000

YIMBY Democrats for America 🇺🇸🗽 @yimbydems.bsky.social · 03/01/2026

Why are today's bad conditions proof that ADUs would be bad? Might've found the problem here...

210

YIMBY Democrats for America 🇺🇸🗽 @yimbydems.bsky.social · 03/01/2026

The historical/socioeconomic context is that people of color were denied opportunities, and now you are denying others opportunities on the basis of fears which are not in evidence. Feels like the wrong lesson to take away? Sort of like generational trauma, doomed to make the same mistakes?

130

YIMBY Democrats for America 🇺🇸🗽 @yimbydems.bsky.social · 03/01/2026

Otherwise... where do they go? Away from the edges of your/our local city... and on to the edges of someone else's?

000

YIMBY Democrats for America 🇺🇸🗽 @yimbydems.bsky.social · 03/01/2026

More to chat about but signing off soon! Agreed that sprawl is the worst. Hard to imagine that there'd be a better release valve for our inexorable march to ubiquitous exurbs than giving people who currently have to move to the edge of cities the choice to actually live within them though, right?

100

YIMBY Democrats for America 🇺🇸🗽 @yimbydems.bsky.social · 03/01/2026

You can't just assign us candidates based on the characters you've invented for us in your head. 😂 You are certainly welcome to listen to 50+ hours of our podcast, though! You might be surprised... Or just do a little research into Zohran's deputy mayor, executive orders, & housing committee... 🤔

YIMBY Democrats for America 🇺🇸🗽 @yimbydems.bsky.social · 03/01/2026

Seriously! Where's that progress we've been promised from Abundance, a policy you heard about less than a year ago from notoriously bigoted right-wingers like... Ezra Klein? Is this a riddle? Perhaps a kōan? We're intrigued & have a similar question for you: what is the sound of one hand clapping?

A socialist should love Abundance! (And one does.) You can't do socialism if you can't make stuff. Can't redistribute funds until you raise them. Can't build subsidized public housing if it's also blocked by zoning & neighbor vetoes. Can't get a 21st century FDR if The New New Deal would be illegal!

040

YIMBY Democrats for America 🇺🇸🗽 @yimbydems.bsky.social · 03/01/2026

Which worse conditions are in evidence? Is there support via experts or data for this? Perhaps, but not in the article you shared! Living nearby doesn't confer inherent expertise on civic infrastructure, no? It's a worthwhile consideration, but not one illuminated by "I'm local & worried so stop."

100

YIMBY Democrats for America 🇺🇸🗽 @yimbydems.bsky.social · 03/01/2026

You got us! Zohran just said "Abundance." Who knows what he means? Who knows indeed. Unless you scroll all the way to the... second image, and check the Executive Actions he signed on his first day in office... 🤔 For a guy who's faking it, he sure knows a lot about Jersey City and Tokyo...

120

YIMBY Democrats for America 🇺🇸🗽 @yimbydems.bsky.social · 03/01/2026

It's cheaper to build low density in the middle of nowhere... but are the returns worth it? What sprawl is caused by deregulation? Which part of the housing market is deregulated? Are you saying we should be more like Japan, or less like Japan? Do you consider Japan regulated or deregulated?

100

YIMBY Democrats for America 🇺🇸🗽 @yimbydems.bsky.social · 03/01/2026

Which is exactly why adding more residents and their tax revenue can help to pay for sidewalks, pavements, and streetlights while also creating demand and political pressure for increased public transit? Let's let the grannies live in the "granny flats" and not do redlining-again-but-woke?
