If you aren’t NIMBY you can’t call yourself a home owner. Yimbys are absolute cucks

I can understand the pro-development crowd who point out '''gentrification''' is an r-slured concept and redeveloping shithole districts is good actually, no matter how many historic crack houses you have to bulldoze.
But for some reason yimbys are obsessed with shit like building homeless shelters and handing out free needles in family neighborhoods. Any support for more luxury housing crumbles the moment some ultrawoke activist group (funded by a local landlord) accuses them of neocolonialism.

Yimby makes absolutely no sense. Why would you spend money to own something that appeals to you and then just blindly encourage everything arohnd it to change. How are these citycel cute twinks who buy condos ecstatic about wanting skyscrapers built in front of their only window. These fricks literally want every community to be a city with billion dollar public transit and bike lanes everywhere and skyscrapers for “affordable housing.” They want modern concrete jungles to be everywhere. It’s pure cuckoldry.
These fricking r-slurs are fricking everywhere on Reddit, too. Do homeless drug addicts exist? Must be because of “the housing crisis.” Build build build. Is crime? Must be because of lack of housing mobility. Build build build. Can millenitards not afford to buy a million dollar condo in a city and therefore will NEVER be able to afford to buy a home? Must be limited housing stock because of greedy homeowners who won’t move and die. Build build build. does this primarily working class community of x ethnicity that’s existed for a century lack artesnial nuspanish pre fixe cuisine and a yoga gym? Huge lack of problematic diversity!!! Build build build. Why can’t I have nice things when I move across the country and place no roots because of trends? Bc “the boomers” have no right to live in the communities they grew up in and need to move out to make way for us! Build build build.
I absolutely refuse to believe these cute twinks who believe that to let your quality of life suffer so more people of questionable value can come live next door are real. This is probably the gaythiest’s idea of Catholic charity because they do nothing themselves.
The fundamental problem is that yimbys are either fundamentally young people or aging commie hippies who are so opposed to any sort of traditional way of life that they honestly would believe in a one world government and community where cultures and communities should no longer exist
The only way it isn’t a snide selfish goal is if the YIMBY is actually a ((colonizer)) who moves to a blighted area to make an ((investment)) by encouraging cosmopolitan homogenization

Are you disputing that increasing supply of housing will lower prices? Or that lower housing costs are a good thing?
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
No. Yimbys believe that building more shantytown housing complexes and skyscrapers will magically solve everything and the blight of turning a small community into downtown Tokyo is good and cool and not problematic at all whatsoever.
They are the same r-slurs who say things like “increase the housing supply ten fold by allowing billionare ((developers)) unfettered access to all land and real estate and 20 years down the line homelessness will be solved”

I'm inclined to believe that it would drastically reduce it. At least the portion of homeless who are just on the street due to a small streak of bad luck.
But as you noted, maybe the cost is not worth paying as hustling and bustling is not for everyone.

It's called being a good person sweaty, you should try it sometime. If your goal as a property owner is to vote against anything that would lower the value of your housing equity, then yeah you can defend being a selfish frick on the grounds that it's okay to be a selfish frick, but it shouldn't be too inexplicable to run into people who think otherwise.

It's just a continuation of the leftist pro-immigration mindset.

I was so happy to see the trashy neighbors around the corner moving out/evicted/whatever. Borderline going Karen and notifying the city that they need to do something about all the broken shelves and toys and shit strewn about the yard. This isn't Alabama, we actually care about curb appeal

we had a rental house near me that was a bunch of hoodrats who got the house for hood prices because they burned down their last one in the ghetto, its actually pretty easy to get people like that gone if you are cool with your neighbors

The game was so whiny and entitled it increased my support for NIMBYism.
Also, we have thousands of ghost towns across the US. Can't a billionaire roll out some fiber lines, build some McHovels, and market 600/month leases to WFHcels?

WFHcels wouldn't go for it. They deeply value the feeling of being in a city where "things are happening," even if they never leave home or take advantage of any of those things when they happen.

Completely unrelated but a house in my suburb has had an old potty out front on their lawn near the side of the road for a couple months now. IDK maybe they think the city will cave and take it away eventually. Most people now refer to that house as "The Potty People."
Wouldn't you want to move heaven and earth to prevent yourself from owning that moniker?

The game is even more r-slurred than it sounds. I figured it would let you select something to build but stop you right before you did with some related text (like if you tried building a railroad it would complain about noise or something). Instead it's just a static screenshot and every time you click it pops up a random message. That's it.
I hate that I even clicked through to it.

Affordable housing was the worst thing that happened neighboring town I use to live near. It wasn't a perfect place, but practically overnight it became unsafe to walk around at night and within months the whole place was noticeably more of a shithole.
