[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]No one would be talking about whether the new housing would be affordable[/b] if the YIMBYs hadn’t promised that doing their ideas would result in affordable housing. Now that people are calling them on their broken promise they’re claiming that they never said that, that if you want affordable housing you’re a NIMBY, or a combination of both. It’s really a great movement you have going there. [/quote]

Hi shock face. No one would be talking about it because everyone would assume that new housing wouldn’t be affordable because that’s how it works. You all promised affordable housing and now you get bent out of shape when people wonder where the affordable housing is. [/quote]

If this all happens it will also depend on who is doing the developing and where.  Local mid-high end developers that work primarily on single family homes aren’t going to want get involved in controversial neighborhood builds.

There are probably 15 renovations and additions at any given time in my neighborhood, and I can’t imagine that any of those builders would give up repeat business and word of mouth recommendations to grab short term profits building a multifamily.  Their LinkedIn, Facebook, and Yelp would get interesting at the very least.
