    I'm curious if you have any resources about YIMBYism from a left wing perspective? I know it's a woefully incomplete solution and it's impossible to reform capitalism from the inside, but should leftists support YIMBY policies in the short term? Or does building more not actually reduce the rent for people? Also how does this play into gentrification?

    Sorry, maybe this would be better as a separate post, but if you have any thoughts or articles I'd be curious to read more.
