[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course they are doing billionaires work.  Ezra Klein and Peter Thiel are buddies.  It’s all part of the plan.  The YIMBYs are just the useful idiots of the left, the analog of the MAGAs on the right.[/quote]

Oh no! Affordable housing! How scary! I wonder if you honestly believe this or are just trying to stir the pot.[/quote]

Housing is already affordable. YIMBYs like to conveniently act as though incomes in this area aren’t astronomical. The median HHI in Moco is about $170k. With the high salaries here, people easily fill up all the apartment buildings that they claim are not affordable. And if you’re at the lower end of the income scale, you can live in an older building, live further out, and/or get a roommate. The options are there. We don’t need to give handouts to developers, change zoning, or manipulate the market to make housing more “affordable” (which paradoxically just raises prices for people who don’t qualify for affordable units). So yes, YIMBYs are idiots. [/quote]

You seem like the kind of person who would argue that young people can’t afford homes because they spend too much money on UberEats. Guess what? Housing is much pricier today than it was 40 years ago. That’s simply a fact. [b]Government should try to fix that by building more of it[/b].[/quote]

More government housing lol[/quote]
