How do #YIMBYs reconcile being developers’ lobbyists pushing bills removing democratically implemented local zoning & control to help for profit developers?

They question why local people should have any control and attack local people for imagined crimes

It's like
#MinorityReport.#sb35 penalizes cities when developers don't submit enough applications to build - which cities don't control. Zoning protecting the environment & helping cities plan is invalidly interpreted to mean cities & residents are racist.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

She's a VC adding to jobs and housing demand right? Apparently only the supply side is guilty of this crisis.

I take that back - a true YIMBY would say only the regulators & voters of the regulators of the supply side capitalist system are guilty of causing the housing crisis.

There are a lot of similarities between YIMBYs & Trump. Deregulation of the free market & helping developers.

Not building housing feels vaguely spiritually similar to Building A Wall.

Is it two choices? Building nothing or building highrises where they're not wanted? I've seen thousands of units go up recently

I think most American zoning more or less forces US cities into this odd binary.
