And yes, the Mill Valley woman who authored the op-ed at the top had to financially help her daughter, a VC, buy a house in Oakland (underscoring that when historically white counties like Marin don't build housing, their kids gentrify other places). https://www.citylab.com/equity/2019/07/nimby-vs-yimby-single-family-zoning-laws-california-housing/594373/ …pic.twitter.com/NzRp0xD1v2

Uh, yeah, so the point is if Mill Valley (median home price = $1.6M) doesn't build housing and its residents' kids go and gentrify Oakland, maybe Oakland should have some regional tax revenue to build affordable housing there (that is decommodified BTW!) https://calmatters.org/commentary/housing-financialization/ …pic.twitter.com/rF8jlDdN8U

She's more like Queen NIMBY or NIMBY-in-Chief than a lowly NIMBY plebe, TBH. You're talking about NIMBY royalty here.

As a side note, if someone tells me they drive a Prius and support the Sierra Club, I consider it a big red flag.

"Housing is a human right"* * = Doesn't block my views or shade my veggies, park in front of my house, or mean I have to park further from favorite grocery store, coffee place, bank, post office, etc.
