YIMBYs live in attached units (either apartments or condos) and want to increase density at all (usually human) costs and do whatever possible to knock down any building that’s not a mixed use highrise.
Firstly, plenty of YIMBYs live in ranch style homes in the suburbs. They complain about zoning and blame car culture on unions and donate monthly to Andrew Yang. But they scream like stuck pigs when anything threatens their property values or encroaches on their school districts.
Secondly, YIMBYs don't demolish shit. That's developers. And developers don't care if you're knocking down a single family unit to build five townhomes or an old eight unit apartment to build a big new McMansion so long as they're always building.
they treat the real estate market the way libertarians treat the economy as a whole.
Right. The term is camouflage. It doesn't get you dense urban housing with good public transit. It just gets privatization and subsidy for whomever is paying the local YIMBY Org's media budget.
