Oh YIMBY know how to yell. …at the elders, BIPOC & (especially on Housing Twitter) at the women who dare to point out how the blanket zoning deregulation policies lead to their eviction.

Lest we forget head YIMBY putting elders in the hospital pushing #SB827 🧵
Same tactics used by their NIMBY suburban parents/grandparents to oppose affordable housing:

“Supervisor candidate and BARF founder Sonja Trauss moved into the crowd and shook her protest sign in the face of an elderly Chinese man…”

“When folks show you who they are believe them.”

How many times do YIMBY leaders need to be seen 2B believed?

How many more Koch Bros funded researchers do they need to hire?

How many YIMBY comm directors need to claim supporting 100% affordable housing is “not progressive?”

.@Scott_Wiener: "The status quo isn’t working and we need to do things different. We need an enormous amount of housing at all income levels … In California we have made a conscious decision that housing simply doesn’t matter."
.@Scott_Wiener: "Local control over housing is important but it is not biblical."
