Re:Anti-NIMBY movement is winning with a simple message by SatvikBeri on Tuesday November 14, 2017 @03:58PM (#15699039)
They tried, it got too much resistance. There are essentially two anti-housing groups:

1. People who have a vested interest in inflating housing prices, e.g. because they own property

2. People who seriously, genuinely believe that more market-rate housing won't help affordability

Targeting just affordable & teacher housing swings group (2), which combined with the YIMBYs is (hopefully) enough to get policy passed.
