Why do YIMBYs and affordable housing advocates keep fighting each other? Current theory is YIMBYs have concluded that development reduces mean housing costs and affordable housing advocates conclude luxury development reduces affordable housing. But these beliefs don't contradict

How do you ensure affordability with zoning restrictions? I'm open to the idea that there are people hurt by development that the YIMBYs are missing. But I've not seen it spelled out
These are not the correct sides and there are many more sides. YIMBYs basically advocate for 4 things: 1) allowing multifamily housing in more places 2) speeding up permitting 3) more $$$ for subsidized Affordable Housing 4) reforming bad incentives (prop13, parking)

Market rate and Affordable Housing is good. Both need multifamily zoning and a streamlined process that doesn't enable NIMBYs.

The primary funding source for Affordable Housing is not taxes on Market Rate Housing, and shouldn't be. It we do that, we'll never get enough of either. We should directly subsidize a ton of Affordable housing through taxes, bonds, etc.
