The DMV needs a YIMBY revolution

They literally are excited about the death and destruction brought by hurricanes when to hits the suburbs they hate. These people want nothing more than to force their lifestyle on everyone else and they will gladly destroy everything else to do it. Their morally reprehensible excitement about hurricane Milton tells you everything you need to know about the YIMBY movement. https://x.com/YIMBYLAND/status/1843741988098867376

That’s pretty disturbing.

YIMBYs are a pox upon the earth.

Most of you will hate this but I don’t care. We all need to suck it up and move into the 21st century, 25 years too late.

No more tweaking around the edges with low-level zoning reform or a few more metro stops or buses here and there. We need a broad scale systematic urban planning overhaul that completely eliminates single family zoning anywhere inside the Beltway.

Single family zoning is simply unsustainable. We can’t grow our economy if we don’t have new residents and we can’t have new residents if we don’t have homes. And if we don’t have more homes near better, reliable transit, then everyone will be more miserable stuck in traffic and less productive at work and less economically competitive. We need to completely eliminate suburban sprawl. The 1950s planned communities need to stay in the past. In a perfect world we’d move everyone closer in to promote re-wilding of our exurbs.

Nobody should be living in a single family suburban home and drive an SUV. It should be either urban, dense multi family dwelling walkable 15-minute neighborhoods, or rural homesteads, preferably using their land for organic family farming and solar fields and green spaces.

If it weren’t for American “but muh freedumb!” selfish ideology, I guarantee we would all have a much higher quality of life with less traffic, less stress, stronger communities, less obesity, and a better economy.

Bring on the YIMBY revolution.

Everyone should live in a commie block shoebox rental apt and ride bicycles and public transport sitting next to the bottom 10% of society!

It's astonishing how many miserable mentally ill progressives really believe this garbage.

Upzoning isn’t a war on single family houses but it definitely is part of a war on single family houses.

Democrats really shouldn't be able to live in suburban SFH neighborhoods that insulate them from the consequences of their votes. They really should have to live in a commie block and deal with the problems they caused on a daily basis.

Trump is a NIMBY. Compare:

“The woke left is waging full scale war on the suburbs, and their Marxist crusade is coming for your neighborhood, your tax dollars, your public safety, and your home,” President Trump said. “When I get back into the Oval Office, one of my first acts will be to repeal Joe Biden's radical left attack on the suburban lifestyle.”

Biden’s extremist agenda to destroy America’s suburbs calls for the federal government to abolish zoning for single family homes, destroy property values by building giant multifamily apartment complexes in the suburbs, and force communities to pay for low-income housing developments.

The Trumpers are more likely to be NIMBYs or YIYBYs (not yes-in-my-back-yard, but developers and others happy to see more in your back yard). There are enough Dems and independents who aren't YIMBYs, though, and Republicans are using that as a national wedge issue in the campaigns for president and senate/congress.

It’s certainly more complex than a lot of people want to admit.
