Does YIMBY mean luxury condos in NY or something? Pretty sure everywhere else it means “put whatever you need to put in my backyard to benefit my community”
Back in my day, the term YIMBY didn’t even exist. And NIMBYs were the ones that constantly harassed city councils when they tried to adopt low income housing, public transit, diverse zoning laws allowing for mixed use and high density, and other public infrastructure.
apparently mfs are trying to get us to believe that the NIMBYs are no longer advocating against diversity and ppl are instead going to those town council meetings saying "I WANT LUXURY APARTMENTS!!!"
i guess this means we were all wrong............................ (i guarantee nobody is doing that)
Apparently "YIMBY" is now short for "yuppies in my backyard", and luxury condos are the one kind of urban development NIMBYs object to.
Yeah, that's certainly how that usually works.
