[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think YIMBYs are very good at what they do, for example stacking ANCs with pro-YIMBYs who then endorse any/all development. YIMBYs are running circles around those who care about this city but are less organized, House of Cards style. Tune into ANY ANC meeting, and see the chorus of YIMBYs on parade.[/quote] You have it backwards. The NIMBYs ruled the roost for the better part of 40 years, and finally, the YIMBYs organized to be able to at least provide some balance in the city. It is such a breath of fresh air to have some younger people engaged in our local civics to help shape the community how they want it as they age. They will be here for longer than we will.[/quote] NIMBYs still rule the roost on most ANCs - just try to propose anything that may threaten their precious free parking and see what ensues. [/quote]
