the idea that there are “left NIMBYs” is so utterly foolish that it’s barely worth even mentioning. there are approximately zero leftists that don’t want everyone to be housed, that don’t want robust public transportation options

If you think that's true, well that's a key aspect of YIMBYism.
If you want to remove mandatory parking minimums, maximum FARs, minimum lot sizes, maximum housing units, minimum setbacks, maximum heights; you are encouraging dense development to take place in your backyard.

YIMBYs saying they’re pro-housing is like the goose meme. pro housing for who, MFers? certainly not for those most in need

In my opinion at least, a statistic like that is a very clear indication that we've made it too difficult to build mew things.
