[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Harvard Business Review takes an evidence-filled bat to nearly every single YIMBY talking point. Just a complete takedown:

Come on, who are you going to believe, the Harvard Business Review or some random blogs and Facebook posts written by awkward white millennials?

I’ll have you know that Greater Greater Washington is a highly respected blog format![/quote]

GGWash is a ridiculously inconsistent organization but slam them accurately. Dan Reed, their Regional Policy Director, is black.  The white boomer co-opting of black angst at the white millennial do-gooder is pretty cringe, especially when deployed incorrectly.[/quote]

Well, no, not incorrect, not Boomer, and for the love of all things, use of the word cringe is pretty embarrassing. Are you even old enough to enter into home ownership?

While we’re at it, GGW is a silly blog full of blogged opinion pieces, that’s it.  What does Dan Reed’s race have anything to do with it?  Yes, he’s the YIMBY’s “see, I totally have black friends,” that is true,  that doesn’t have anything to do with YIMBY garbage opinions.[/quote]

Imagine thinking a 26 year old can't engage in homeownership.[/quote]
