npub1mdky0njswyvy6esxh964apx9e6mmwt8am4wuqk3ds5p4xyaav2dqvlaptk (npub1mdk…aptk) As a term, “left-NIMBY” feels to me like one of the biggest strawmen ever—and a lot of self-proclaimed YIMBYs just love using it. Feels like an absolute waste of time to A) see yourself as almost definitionally progressive (YIMBYism is purely a blue big city/big-city metro phenomenon) and B) see the left rather than the right as your main enemy. It’s exhausting hearing about how all human progress is apparently being stopped by like 8 Dems in Berkeley. It totally obscures the right-wing.
