I almost can’t believe that people like this (self-described YIMBYs. People who actively want to live in little boxes) exist, but then, I’ve met a few people with these beliefs, lately. “YIMBYs are useful idiots of the development lobby”. MacroBusiness, the author, often makes good points. - Kotaku In Action 2

The problem isn't YIMBY or even large apartment buildings being built in cities, it's the dipshit regulations that require even luxury apartment buildings to set aside so many units for "muh low income" which then attract people who absolutely ruin the neighborhood.

There absolutely needs to be more middle income housing, just without the bullshit handouts.
