You could absolutely have more diversity by simply adding people, rather than displacing or removing anyone, which is precisely what the comment suggested.

Sure. You can add people. IF they can afford to buy in. Clearly they can’t...that’s not the problem of existing homeowners who aren’t ‘diverse’ enough for the younger generation.

The entire YIMBY point is to allow more dense housing, so that you can in fact move more people into an area to increase diversity, rather than relying on certain populations to get excluded.

You can’t increase density without decreasing the quality of life by apportioning more of fixed or shrinking resources.
