[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Theres also this mindset that people should be able to live and maybe even buy in whatever neighborhood they please, regardless of income. Thats just not how life works. [/quote] Well yeah, that's kind of the whole point of YIMBYism, that we want to change how life works because we think it could be better. Nobody is saying anyone who wants a 5br house in AU Park should have one, we're just saying maybe there shouldn't be laws that prevent property owners building multifamily housing on their own property so that someone who can't afford a 5BR house but can afford a studio apartment can live there. [/quote] YIMBYism is really about white people with champagne tastes and beer budgets doing everything they can to avoid moving into predominantly black neighborhoods. There is more than a whiff of racism to it. [/quote]
