I agree, because there’s a difference from (some? SF-based?) YIMBYs and the broader ideology of YIMBYism.

what would you say is the broader ideology of YIMBYism, and what defines it if it is different than what YIMBY-identifying orgs & people generally think?

I’d say that “build baby build” is the general ideological drive, of which razing the Mission to build high-rises is the logical endpoint. But many (not all) YIMBY folks I’ve seen (particularly in East Bay?) really try to roll in strong tenant protections. Does that make sense?

Did you read the entire giant thread of replies from YIMBYs to Conor’s troll? (He lives in Atlanta, I think, btw.)

Most of it, yeah. I guess what I’m getting at is that the attempt to form a powerful group that fights *equally* hard for *both* development *and* strong tenant rights might be difficult? (A bunch of single tweeters isn’t either, because twitter isn’t really anything.)

Having two different political goals is one movement is often hard.

“The increase capacity arm of the antidisplacement movement" was a main self-description/slogan of SFBARF (precursor to SFYIMBY) since near start, 2015. I think helping tenants, both existing & new, has been the central idea all along; but by means other groups don't agree with.

Yeah, I remember reading that too. I think that “increase capacity” and “antidisplacement” don’t always go hand in hand, though. Like, the “raze the missions” tweet (joke or whatever) is... kinda proposing that, right?

not increasing capacity can also result in displacement. Which is basically the story of the Bay Area over the last 40 years too.

I don’t disagree with that.
