so am I lol I just think 'it'll piss off the NIMBYs too much' is a terrible reason to not pursue good social housing policy. I don't consult 'obama is a kenyan nazi muslim' commenters before supporting strong anti-racist policy either

also, while it still seems plausible to me that social housing would help cut the political knot here, ultimately you can't know how it will play until you try. lot of these arguments are very new and odd-sounding to people

sure but there are zero political approaches that will reach wealthy homeowners in the suburbs, who will reject both social housing and new market rate housing.

correct. I'm saying that YIMBY + PHIMBY might get you a workable majority to steamroll those people

I would bet you that YIMBY *and* PHIMBY are a tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiny faction in the state and most actual voters are those commenters.
