These are the YIMBYs, people:

NOVA YIMBYs are overwhelmingly white with a maybe a southeast Asian or two, one or two African Americans, and with a penchant for patronizing and condescending to lower income POC, or people they deem beneath their overly-educated standards.

Except for, you know, the NCAAP supporting pro-housing legislation because they understand Econ 101. But yeah, other than that you are entirely correct! (meaning, totally wrong)

Of course, the NAACP (assuming you mean the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and not whatever NCAAP might be) support pro-housing legislation. They have gotten royal screwed by white gentrifiers and will continue to be screwed over by Missing Middle. One of the few African American NoVa YIMBYs runs the Arlington NAACP. He is working to keep missing middle out of the few remaining African American neighborhoods like Johnson's Hill, Green Valley, Halls Hill and Highview Park. He is also advocating for actual affordable housing rental units to house the people being displaced by gentrification. A Thanksgiving tradition for decades, the Halls Hill turkey bowl team now had two residents of Halls Hill on the team. The others have been gentrified out of the community where most of them had lived for years.

In addition to Econ 101 I understand politics 101.

I am impressed by the YIMBY marketing. A bunch of white middle class libertarians have embraced trickle down theory and applied it to housing and yet have somehow branded themselves as progressives?

I am more impressed by how easily they made themselves the useful idiots of developers. They have given builders many more development opportunities with more profit potential.

And without reducing housing costs!

Don't forget it's "attainable" housing not "affordable housing." Affordable housing has to be available to the masses. Attainable housing can be any price under the sun. MoCo is in the business of making developers very happy.

Doing a basic search for a definition of affordable housing would be very helpful to you, as would a search for the definition of attainable housing.

This is just a word salad developers and urbanists use to justify their agenda to destroy the suburbs.

What's the UN definition? Bantargebang in Jakarata where people live on a landfill is "affordable housing" and people living on stilts in Nigeria's Maboko's landfill is "attainable" housing.
The UN is hardly a good resource for housing.

Affordable housing has a definition. It's not a definition that developers typically like but it has a definition. Do enlighten all of us plebes as to what the definition of attainable housing is by MoCo standards. I can assure you attainable housing can be priced far beyond the standards of the average Marylander.

They are clearly collecting information from these threads

At least they are sweating it a little.

What a bunch of horse poop. The impact statements from developers are a joke and MoCo planning just rubber stamps them. One developer put down that a huge condo building would add just 3 kids to the public school population and MoCo let it through.

Increased Demands on Infrastructure
While impacts on infrastructure (schools, transportation, water and sewer) are likely to be minimal, these can be addressed through existing policies including those contained in the Growth and Infrastructure Policy. For example, attainable housing options are subject to existing transportation and school impact tax payments and any applicable Utilization Premium Payments to mitigate impacts on crowded schools.

When Alexandria Mayor Justin (Huh?)Wilson advocated for all the housing in Potomac Yard WITHOUT the building of a school he was famously quoted stating "Families don't live in apartments"

Not that a gaffe that huge would slow him down given all the D bootlickers in that pathetic city, but there you go.

affordable housing

DP. It’s pretty pointless to argue semantics because either way the terms aren’t something against which a policy’s success or failure can be measured. The most important metric is how much cheaper housing is or will be given a specific course of action and how much housing is or will be built as a result of a specific course of action. YIMBYs embrace the vague because no one can tell whether their zoning proposal or subsidy actually worked.

By definition, all housing that was purchased by someone or something is affordable.

True. But when 90 percent of households realized they couldn’t afford what was being pushed by YIMBYs, the YIMBYs realized they had to change their terms to something even squishier.

They are clearly collecting information from these threads

At least they are sweating it a little.

What a bunch of horse poop. The impact statements from developers are a joke and MoCo planning just rubber stamps them. One developer put down that a huge condo building would add just 3 kids to the public school population and MoCo let it through.

Increased Demands on Infrastructure
While impacts on infrastructure (schools, transportation, water and sewer) are likely to be minimal, these can be addressed through existing policies including those contained in the Growth and Infrastructure Policy. For example, attainable housing options are subject to existing transportation and school impact tax payments and any applicable Utilization Premium Payments to mitigate impacts on crowded schools.

When Alexandria Mayor Justin (Huh?)Wilson advocated for all the housing in Potomac Yard WITHOUT the building of a school he was famously quoted stating "Families don't live in apartments"

Not that a gaffe that huge would slow him down given all the D bootlickers in that pathetic city, but there you go.

During the arena debacle, he also said they could build a new school if the plan went through, but not if the plan didn’t. Because what is democracy if not elected officials attempting to coerce constituents into supporting something they plainly do not want.

Someone needs to find Justin Wilson and make him volunteer in an overcrowded school at lunch time.

These are the YIMBYs, people:

https://www.sfexaminer.com/news/sb-827-rallies-end-with-yimbys-shouting-down-protesters-of-color/article_42f1bb0c-c4c5-5401-a395-5aff1b28137c.html

NOVA YIMBYs are overwhelmingly white with a maybe a southeast Asian or two, one or two African Americans, and with a penchant for patronizing and condescending to lower income POC, or people they deem beneath their overly-educated standards.

They use lower income POC as props for accusing other people of racism when they oppose housing. And then when people point out that the housing won’t be affordable for lower income people they ask “who said it would????????”

Because the NIMBY plan to reduce housing cost is... what exactly?

Neither YIMBYs nor NIMBYs have a “plan to reduce housing cost.”

Except for the many, many examples of slower rent growth in pro-housing cities champ.

At some point the ignorance of evidence contrary to your ideology is not helpful or serious.
