Liberal yimbys want to live in cities built like college campuses but could never support the rigorous policing of homeless people that make college campuses pleasant. Fantasy world ideology.

You don't have to if you're really in-the-paint when it comes to deregulating zoning and embracing 100% market rate housing. But I guess that's more centrist-YIMBY

The idea that the homeless guys who smoke crack next to my building are an $1100 1/1 away from being contributing pleasant members of society is insane.

I think most liberal YIMBYs want Parisian-type density. I hope? they're not naive enough to think that comes with zero homelessness. Idk who's advocating for it to look like Vassar or some shit

No. And if that's they really want, punt them back to academia. Cities are supposed to be messy. Not the Elysian Fields.
