The Symbolic Politics of Housing: voter dislike of the very actors who could ameliorate the housing shortage they suffer from probably exacerbates it.

The Victorian Liberal Party (including so-called 'classical liberal' Tim Wilson) joins local residents to oppose housing affordability and free markets.

If you are an ambitious politician looking for tomorrow's issue to champion, @scottwiener.bsky.social, California's top YIMBY legislator, provides a good model to follow.

NIMBYs in Brighton.
This is why housing is unaffordable.

Bayside residents are rallying against plans to introduce buildings up to 16 storeys in the area.

Residents marching in Brighton on Sunday argued the ill-conceived plan would overrun their suburbs’ population without adequate infrastructure or their consent.

1/ If you're interested in housing and the debates within the Democratic party about how much is needed and how to get it built, you need to read this profile of CA NIMBY slayer @scottwiener.bsky.social by @jetjocko.bsky.social.

Supporters of affordable housing requirements need to point to examples where it has worked. Because there is a lot of evidence of it being counter-productive.

In 2018, then-Mayor Ada Colau called Barcelona’s new 30% inclusionary housing requirement for projects over 600m^2 a “paradigm shift,” making housing “a right and not a commodity.” It was supposed to produce 330 affordable units a year. The reality: just 31 affordable apartments in all these years.

Cuando se ha aprobó esta medida dije repetidamente que iba a ser un fracaso y que no construirían nada de vivienda asequible. Se ha probado en mil sitios y no funciona.
