I don't even live in Silicon Valley, but it seems like every local dork on Twitter that tweets stuff like "Build Baby Build" has Dev Ops or "Full Stack Engineer" in their profile.

I don't think these people have trouble buying houses. Most projects supported by YIMBYs would be bigger apartments managed by companies as opposed to a house that someone can buy and be the landlord of
These people do have trouble buying houses, at least on their own — work in tech and lived in an expensive non-SF city before the pandemic started and the only engineers who owned their houses/apartments/condos were at least mid-30s and had a spouse who was also in tech or other high-paying jobs
Sure the housing market is too expensive for them too it seems. My main point is that most yimby projects seem to be apartment complexes so it wouldn't be an opportunity for them to become a landlord. At least that's the case in my area where everything is either a single home or an appartment with hundreds of units
There might be yimbys who are focussed on condos and stuff but I don't think that is the case
Ive only ever seen condo yimbys, but that bight be a local thing
