[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Prices go up for detached SFHs in areas of increasing density because that is what most prefer.

NIMBYs love pretending to be daft just to question the obvious.[/quote]

How are the YIMBYs going to address the shortage of detached SFHs in areas of increasing density?[/quote]

By suggesting that such can be found farther out, and that [b]we should be encouraging job creation to go along with well-managed housing development [/b]in those locations to acieve similar aims to those [i]publicly espoused[/i] by YIMBYs.[/quote]

It is false that MoCo’s YIMBYs espouse anything about job creation. The Thrive draft that planning sent to the Council did not include a chapter on jobs. The Council said that wasn’t right and sent it back. Planning had to hire consultants to write that chapter because they lacked the expertise to do it themselves. And by well-managed housing development in those locations, you either mean banning it or taxing it to death. [/quote]
