I’m a YIMBY. I think we need to build a shit load of apartments. I don’t care whether it’s state-owned or private. If we wanted to build a shit ton of public housing, we’d need to implement YIMBY policies anyway.

I don't really know if Marxism is relevant here, but I see bourgeois NIMBY homeowners trying to keep property values high at the expense of everyone else as a common enemy everyone needs to fight against.

my interpretation of 'i don't care' is that you would be satisfied with a bullshit private contract rather than lobby for it being implemented in a better way, but i guess some YIMBY thought could be a strain of lesser evil/critical support
