I don't live in San Francisco, and our local YIMBY group is getting things done, thank you very much. We helped nudge our local representatives towards passing HB2001 in Oregon, which will add to the supply of more affordable homes. We've helped get apartments built locally. We speak regularly with our city councilors.

It takes a lot more than being 'highly online' and YIMBY groups are doing that work.

Now that duplexes are allowed, how long does it take to get one approved?

Still too long. The bill has not been fully implemented as cities have a few years to adapt it into their code.

But you just keep pushing where you can.

I've found density laws wildly accepted, its a building boom in Newberg as people add ADU's and more housing. I don't know where you get your information, but if you own a home in a growth boundary in a small town in Oregon, its "Lets build an ADU" time like never before.

You’re kidding, right? This flies contrary to what I’ve seen. Anyway Newberg is a suburb of Hillsburrito at this point.
