Doesn’t this framing serve the petit bourgeois YIMBY luxury housing developers and the DNC’s new neoliberal, deregulatory “abundance” movement? We don’t have homeless for a lack of housing so much as a glut of vacancies and a lack of affordability, which are intimately tied to each other.

Not that NIMBYs aren’t problem at all; they are. But “YIMBY” has been co-opted by bourgeois/neoliberal interests. It’s an astroturfed movement.

Maybe, just maybe, it might be a bit more nuanced than you realize.
