CityNerd | YIMBYism Just Might Be a Political Juggernaut @CityNerd | Uploaded August 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
It became very obvious after starting this channel that probably the biggest motivating force for people who care about urbanism is, simply, the fact that places with great urban qualities are often so unaffordable. Enter YIMBYism, the movement that says the more neighbors, the better, and the more people who can afford to live in a city, the better it is for everyone.
