Yes because they are doing it to the exclusion of policies that could be inacted TODAY
Saying we need smaller cars doesn’t preclude work from home. I love work from home and advocate for it. I also think we should have smaller cars. If I’m expressing the need for smaller cars it doesn’t mean I don’t also favor work from home policies.
The thing is WFH doesn’t benefit YIMBYs and their developer paymasters, it would only benefit working class people.
Where exactly do YIMBYs come into this? YIMBYs are often people who agree that changes are needed and welcome them in their area despite potential personal losses. For example someone who owns a house but votes to allow multi-family zoning in their neighborhood despite the loss of property value they’ll face, or someone who votes to have a homeless shelter or affordable housing near them.
People who want improved housing, public transportation, and pedestrian safety aren’t inherently opposed to work from home. Acting like they are is absurd and creating division where there is none and where it is unnecessary.
Affordable housing, public transit, and walkable cities benefit everyone, especially the working class.
