YIMBYLAND @yimbyland.com · 04/07/2025My friend who runs a restaurant in Austin sent me this video of the ads that are playing on Pandora Spanish radio stations. Every commercial kitchen in America is hearing this. Straight out of a dystopian horror film. 914068
YIMBYLAND @yimbyland.com · 10/06/2025"Mom, how did we get so rich?" "Your dad went to every city council meeting and said no any new housing in our city." 1755

YIMBYLAND @yimbyland.com · 16/04/2025For some reason, online leftists have the hardest time understanding the difference between politics and policy. AOC understands the difference… that’s why she’s a populist in the streets and a YIMBY in the sheets! 3661
YIMBYLAND @yimbyland.com · 15/04/2025Ok, can someone please put me in contact with someone at Kleinheinz. I need to learn more. 060

YIMBYLAND @yimbyland.com · 14/04/2025China’s High Speed Rail overlaid on the US I, for one, thought we were done rolling over and letting China win on the world stage. We used to build hard things in America, but apparently now we just leave that up to the Chinese. 6683
YIMBYLAND @yimbyland.com · 13/04/2025I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that anti-abundance folks are incapable of chewing gum and walking at the same time. Nevertheless, these folks never cease to surprise me with their small-mindedness 2322

YIMBYLAND @yimbyland.com · 07/04/2025[Timeline Cleanse] The Domino Sugar factory project by Two Trees is one of the best redevelopments of industrial land in American history. Every city needs a project like this. - 2800 Homes (700 affordable) - 600k sqft office - 200k sqft retail - 5 acres of a waterfront park 2561
YIMBYLAND @yimbyland.com · 03/04/2025took me a solid minute to realize that this is a real picture and not AI 2210
YIMBYLAND @yimbyland.com · 01/04/2025"Nobody walks here, so why do we need them?" First the bike lanes, and now the sidewalks!? Madness. 2322
YIMBYLAND @yimbyland.com · 31/03/2025Legalize "point access block" apartments like this country-wide and watch the housing crisis disappear faster than you can say 'not in my backyard'. 28811

YIMBYLAND @yimbyland.com · 29/03/2025YIMBYs formed a movement around the most boring minutiae of local law and somehow have grown it so much that now the opposition is calling us a cult. I call that a smashing success. 3933
YIMBYLAND @yimbyland.com · 26/03/2025Imagine how amazing our cities would be if this was the baseline attitude of our neighborhoods and not NIMBYism. 11220
YIMBYLAND @yimbyland.com · 25/03/2025Phoenix’s 13,000 units is insane. Can someone please explain to me why people keep moving to the Arizona desert? What’s going on out there? 17331
YIMBYLAND @yimbyland.com · 25/03/2025Downwardly mobile leftists when you tell them a new condo building with 100 affordable apartments is being built in their neighborhood 0372
YIMBYLAND @yimbyland.com · 24/03/2025I constantly have ppl chirping at me that nobody wants to live in a walkable neighborhood. Meanwhile, @dieworkwear will post a 1/10 effort post about walkable neighborhoods and get 140,000 likes. Call me crazy, but I think we should build more walkable neighborhoods. 3600
YIMBYLAND @yimbyland.com · 24/03/2025I did some digging into this project that they’re bragging about stopping… Turns out this project was going to have 700 PERMANENTLY AFFORDABLE APARTMENTS! 700! Don’t let these ppl fool you. For all intents and purposes, they’re full on anti-affordable housing. Outcomes matter. 1252256
YIMBYLAND @yimbyland.com · 20/03/2025oh you're upset about the Supreme Court? let me tell you a relevant story the year was 1926 and an Ohio developer was trying to develop their 68 acres... 2191
YIMBYLAND @yimbyland.com · 20/03/2025Austin is living up to the exact ideals that are espoused in Abundance and we can’t even get a book tour stop!? Seriously, Austin is at the heart of the Abundance movement and we have Abundance Bros in plenty to fill a tour slot! 0120
YIMBYLAND @yimbyland.com · 20/03/2025Mr. Ezra (Abundace) Klein, famous for never having written anything about healthcare… lmao 3703
YIMBYLAND @yimbyland.com · 19/03/2025The incredible irony here is that the “art installation” is a WAY stronger signal of gentrification than a Van Leeuwen ice cream shop. 0540
