'Build Absolutely Nothing Anywhere Near Anyone'

Develop a catchy name to deride your opponents (“NIMBY”), send stupid mascots to meetings, and convince gullible people at the lower end of the income scale that one day they’ll be able to afford a home — meanwhile you line your pockets as you get approved to build the latest luxury apartment building with studios starting at $2500/month (and the gullible people even went to bat for you to help the approval sail through!). It’s really sad that so-called progressives have aided in this scam.

Nimbee is a play on the acronym NIMBY, which stands for “not in my backyard.]

Probably paid for by right-wing developers cosplaying as affordable housing concerned citizens with the intention of gaslighting gullible left-wing voters who want to be virtuous.

This is not it. Many of us know the people behind Nimbee and they are progressive Dems.

The PP described them perfectly — “gullible left-wing voters who want to be virtuous.”

The YIMBYs can never explain why we keep building apartment buildings everywhere yet prices never come down. And these buildings have tons of vacancies. Maybe they should reexamine why “build, build, build” is such a failure before screaming for more of it.

There's a small but distinct possibility that people aren't sardines.

It works agains the YIMBYs, so whatever, but it’s hard to see.[/quote

I generally support the YIMBY movement for the most part, but the character of "Nimbee" is the definition of cringe, and its either horribly unfunny, or not even understood by the vast majority of people.
So it only serves for the 10-15 people way too into that scene as a lame inside joke.

It reminds me of the Maga crowd that was wearing bandages on their ears after the Trump incident. It’s like, do you not realize that you’ve become the caricature that everyone has drawn of you?
