You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !yimby@lemmy.world

In this community, we believe in saying yes to:

Housing
Density
Public transit
Renewable energy
Alternatives to cars

Typical YIMBY policies include:

Elimination of restrictive zoning
Elimination of parking minimums, setback requirements, and other arbitrary density-decreasing deed restrictions
Elimination of Euclidean zoning
Elimination of “inclusionary” zoning
Elimination of undue red tape that gets in the way of new housing and transit development
Establishment of stronger “by right” development
Replacement of property taxes with land value taxes (LVT)
Construction of high-quality public transit w/ transit-oriented development
Road diets, with more space dedicated to bikes and pedestrians and less to driving and parking

Typical housing crisis “solutions” YIMBYs are wary of:

Scapegoating immigrants
Scapegoating airbnb
Scapegoating “foreign investors”
Scapegoating “greedy developers”

YIMBYism transcends the typical left-right political divide; please be respectful of fellow YIMBYs with differing political views. That said, please report anyone saying anything hateful or bigoted.
