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.  [/quote]

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????????”[/quote]

Because the NIMBY plan to reduce housing cost is... what exactly?[/quote]

Neither YIMBYs nor NIMBYs have a “plan to reduce housing cost.”[/quote]

+1 The local MoCo buzzword "attainable housing" does not equal affordable housing.  The real estate developers are the only clear winners in this as long as MoCo doesn't invest in adequate traffic planning and ways to have our already overcrowded schools absorb all these new people.[/quote]
