Wasn't Laura Foote the one that was worried about white erasure? Here's a photo of her protesting against rent control. https://t.co/i1cT9aZgFX pic.twitter.com/kbNro1GT30

Density isn’t “solving” things. It’s allowing more people to live near their jobs. It’s not supposed to solve the housing crisis. But not doing it is a problem and makes things work as long as people keep moving to cities & displacing current residents.

Still having trouble finding the #YIMBYtown events but the lobster here is better than we expected to be honest

we are not in Texas, Calan; we rode our bikes to the airport and took a flight to Portland for #yimbytown and it seems like people have been avoiding us the whole time. and it's SO COLD HERE.

More white people.

can't wait to post my trip report from #yimbytown to #atxurbanists I expect there to be no further questions and just a lot of applause

I have to really disagree with whoever said, “don’t meet your heroes.” I met at least a few of them at #yimbytown and couldn’t have been more impressed. So, so proud to have spent the week with folks working to solve one of America’s biggest problems.

Dear #SightlineInstitute

The public should know your employee and #YIMBYtown event manager lives in a condo where a YIMBY developer evicted black renters. It rattles very few. https://t.co/JnQ8eZ7ZZs

I found a hater posted a bunch of great photos from the YIMBYtown conference last week and I wanna know where they got them all! Who has a good album or collection of photos? (I don't want to publicize the post, but will provide on request)

A YIMBYTown workshop leader, #EliSpevak , evicted black renters. They call that eviction "innovation'

He's a developer, founded a #YIMBY non profit "Portland for Everyone'. Sits on city sustainably commission.

About Portland – Nobody cares a YIMBY leader evicted black renters – We in fact reward him: Honored host of workshops at YIMBYtown conference, seat on city sustainability commission. Fellow presenters: @candaceforpdx @stephrouth – Density without regulation is just gentrification pic.twitter.com/qVa5Gu2ZGX

Every now and then someone messages me and says, "I want to get involved in YIMBY advocacy, but my city doesn't have a group." You could be the most important YIMBY: the first one! Show up, speak your piece, and document everything on Twitter!

Maybe you should have your own Open New York magazine if you think the narrative makes YIMBY look bad.

In SF, YIMBYs are politically aligned with conservative property owners. Might be different where you are, but that’s the reality here.
