Toxic masculinity … sorry but that is very, very funny.
Opponents of new housing resent being called NIMBYs because it makes them sound selfish. Understandable. They prefer to be called BIMBYs "Better in My Backyard". That is a subterfuge. They say No to every proposal and do not suggest anything in its place. sbs.com.au/news/article/yimb…

THIS πŸ‘ IS πŸ‘ WHY πŸ‘YOUR πŸ‘ VOICES πŸ‘ MATTER!!! YIMBYs who are speaking up to support new housing are proving to our leaders that abundant housing is what the people want! We're setting the tone for pro-housing champions and growing a movement to change the status quo.
β€œTo the NIMBY movement that is now being replaced by the YIMBY movement, go YIMBYs” GOD DAMN ITS SO BEAUTIFUL πŸ₯Ή

Here’s a question: so what if there is on street parking, or even traffic? We need #housing diversity and choice, at a local level. It is imperative to unlocking housing #affordability and letting people stay connected to their communities as they age #wapol #HousingCrisis

A huge mistake people make with trams is seeing them as very expensive buses rather than as inexpensive metros, which is what they are. Smart cities get this.

What a splendid sight. The French are doing a grand job at Notre Dame. Restoring beautiful buildings is green and good

This is fantastique! But we must point out that Mexico City (9.2M) eliminated mandates in 2017 and Toronto (3M) did so in 2021!
