Who are the most powerful NIMBYs in California? Realtors
OPINION: “No one should be more invested in expanding creative home sales opportunities than real estate agents, whose job is to help families realize their homeownership dreams.”

Replacing nomie Dems with YIMBY social democrats on city councils and mayor elections in the best way forward. And primary challengers in safe blue urban seats.

Great piece about where the post-SB 79 housing policy conversation is headed: reducing costs, speeding permitting, easing financing, and making new apartment buildings more beautiful for the neighbors and livable for their residents.
Will the YIMBY ‘Holy Grail’ Deliver an LA Building Boom?
Supporters of the California zoning reform bill SB 79 say it will unleash a wave of multistory apartment buildings. In low-rise-loving Los Angeles, that could be a tall order.

I really need either rae huang or Austin beutner to come out strong in support of sb 79!!! I honestly might have to support freaking tom steyer for governor solely because he endorsed sb 79 (Assuming porter os doa). Anyone who is against sb 79 is unserious! Implement it now!!!

the vast majority of DSA-types I've worked with are MUCH more YIMBY than anyone (including sometimes they themselves) realizes. progressives, on the whole, are good-hearted people who believe housing is a human right. just takes awhile sometimes to figure out how we get there.

Left YIMBY: build anything, especially social housing; protect renters
Left NIMBY: build only social housing; protect renters; developers shouldn’t make a profit
Right YIMBY: build only market rate housing. Property rights
Right NIMBY: build only luxury single family; density and cities are scary

Learning that Annemarie Gray (no relation) of Open New York, NYC's YIMBY group, has been appointed to Mayor-elect Mamdani's housing transition team. This is FANTASTIC news!

I feel like I need to do more IRL activism, not just for its own sake, but because I need reminders that normal humans who want better things exist out there, and hearing extremely online miserable NIMBY fucks like her represent leftism probably unjustly sours me on so much of it

Wasn’t he very clear during the campaign that he supported building more housing? It was like third on his list behind fast & free buses and making it easier for street vendors / small biz to operate.

Traci Park wants to stop Venice Dell, and @mayor.lacity.gov defers to the Councilmember.

Traci Park claims SB 79 threatens the Palisades, and Bass defers to the Councilmember.

Eunisses Hernandez objects to the Gondola, and Bass... votes it through Metro without comment.

The pace at which NYC has turned temporary measures for boosting livable streets into more permanent solutions has been incredibly slow. Mayor Adams didn't fully seize the opportunity to turn paint into protection — but Mayor Mamdani might.

Rather than continuing New York's quick-build approach to redesigning streets with temporary materials, Zohran Mamdani should aim for permanent.
