A few thoughts on mean YIMBYs and, also, the male-domination of this nascent movement, if you can call it that. Just opinions, mind you, and you know what they say about opinions. (/1)

I do see that in the Bay Area in particular, and we have some strong women voices in LA too, like
@awalkerinLA and@drschweitzer for instance. But, at least in LA, the bulk of the YIMBY "movement" is mostly white dudes - especially the more vocal folks. -
they need to recruit better.

Re-reading my thread, I'm sorry that I described a "lack of women" in the YIMBY online presence. Did not intend that to sound like a slight. Just being aware of how many men tend to dominate -- but there are lots of great women leading in the YIMBY space. Thanks for the reminder!
