YIMBY movement

The YIMBY (Yes In My Backyard) movement advocates for increased housing development and urban density to address housing shortages and affordability. YIMBY supporters believe that relaxing zoning laws and encouraging new construction can reduce housing costs, support economic growth, and combat homelessness. They often oppose restrictive housing policies that limit new development, emphasizing the need for sustainable growth that benefits local communities. Essentially, YIMBY promotes responsible, inclusive development to ensure more people can access affordable, adequate housing in cities and neighborhoods.
