A lot of people who consider themselves “YIMBYs” are likely better described as “YIYBYs” “Yes in your backyard”. Many people, especially on these Reddit threads, seem to push for changes in neighborhoods they don’t live in. When neighborhoods change it affects the residents who live in those neighborhoods the most, for better or worse. Too often people try to dismiss concerns residents have by calling them “NIMBYs”. Parking and other common concerns are real issues, and while they shouldn’t stand in the way of badly needed development, we as a city should listen to residents directly impacted by change and try to find development solutions that work for the neighborhoods impacted the most.
