Abundance YIMBYs have started a new publication with the most libertarians I've ever seen in one place. They're trying to claim this is for "the left" yet have clear references to race science in part of what they hope to accomplish. (Don't worry, they walked back the transphobia last night!)

This does not build trust and is why people don't like YIMBYs.

Yeah, no modular or infill housing was happening under Gainey.
Why does anyone listen to Pro-Housing Pittsburgh?

This is about O'Connor abandoning the community again. Something he frequently does while on the JOB.

Personally, I like mayors that don't abandon the community.
Does anyone know where O'Connor went tonight?

This is YIMBY at its core. Calling people "a bunch of psychotic, intellectually deficient losers" when they get caught.
Reminds me of the Planning Commission fallout here with Pro-Housing Pittsburgh only they doxxed a resident *and* insulted everyone they disagreed with.

It would seem Pro-Housing Pittsburgh is just making shit up after spending months insulting people while trying to befriend them.

Yeah, this will win people over to join YIMBYism. Call everyone else economically illiterate and discredit their concerns. What could go wrong?

Unbelievable. Pro-Housing Pittsburgh has not apologized for doxxing a community member in January and now they're apparently trying to direct harassment to Pittsburgh's residents because those residents disagree with them.
These are the "Pittsburgh for all" folks.

The people that own the land blaming the city for housing not being built is peak YIMBY behavior.
The owners are using "red tape" to excuse the fact they are not building because it benefits them to not build or to build parking lots instead.

Pic 1 is round 1 2021 and pic 2 is round 1 2022. It's very possible the state messed these up and it is $2M total because the timeline got all messed up last round.
Calling it Phase 2 in 2022 is interesting though 🤔
