    Just want to remind everyone that we don’t have a housing shortage, we have a cost of living crisis. Everyone deserves a place to live and we have plenty. The will is the only thing. Fight YIMBY traitors. We can do it!

      Two things can be wrong. We can (and should) dispose of landlords and build more housing.

        Traitor YIMBYs want to build more market rate housing. Unnecessary. If after controlling costs there is an actual demand for housing, we should build government housing. Absolutely.

        YIMBY traitors typically call decent folks NIMBYs, so I’m never keen on using that term.

      Yimby traitors?

      What’s wrong with yimbys?

      They won’t solve the underlying problem. Sure, that requires wealth redistribution, but where is the downside?
