Are there any YIMBYs here? (lemmy.ml)

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.

I don't have a back yard, so I'm more like SOMS (Socialism On My Street) and I highly doubt private housing is going to help anything. We already have that and plenty to go around, its just unaffordable on purpose.
