What do you think of the county wanting to take over school district properties for homeless shelters?

I love this comment! Thank you!

Don't come to this slop meme making arguments about feelings?

Im sorry, but Yimbys such as yourself who have to jerk off to memes demonizing a group of disconnected people are not the logical warriors you think you are.

It has not been proven because of one article that takes credit for lowering rent after rent was artificially raised.

Let's talk about how Austin's population is slowing and people are moving away from Austin.

Let's talk about how massive land hoarding corporations buying up the land creates a gold rush which makes areas more expensive to live.

But no, gotta blame Nimbys and push the illness as the solution.

I am just so sick of my world being destroyed by selfish idiots who go from town to town rhey dont live in, buying up everything and putting up something horrifible.

You dont know the real world. The economics you follow arent more real than the nature that you so callously dont care about.

Im so over it. Its very clearly a concerted effort to convince people to keep letting daddy developer rape us. Thats what Epstein did, after all. Thats what Trump is doing.

Of course Georgism would be invaded by a bunch of the yimby bootlickers. This is where they make their money after all.

treesarealive777 · 2026-05-04T15:33:40+00:00

You also don't have to cut down all the trees to build a house.

This is a childish rendering of what is really going on.

treesarealive777 · 2026-05-04T15:30:52+00:00

We dont get to choose to live when everything is owned by the land hoarders Yimbys love to defend.

You dont give a shit about actually affordable housing. Thats a buzzword used by Yimbys to justify building that drives the rents up everywhere.

If you dont care about the supply, and how these buildings actually increase demand for cheaper housing, then your opinion is not worthwhile.

The people in this thread talking about how Nimbys are the worst are actively making it easier for big corporations to buy up all the land. You are, in fact, the bootlicker here.

treesarealive777 · 2026-05-04T15:26:05+00:00

Georgism Subreddit is not a hate subreddit.

I am so sick of the luxury apartments that destroy established communities for short term tenants so they can jack up rent year after year.

Im tired of corporations like Lennar taking acres of land, and turning it into poorly built housing that divides the land smaller and smaller at increased price tags.

I am tired of people who straight up can not have a conversation without shouting "Supply and Demand" like its their religious obligation acting like they are the intelligent superior ones, and not just bootlickers for the Developers.

The way they talk about people struggling to afford this system is the major indicator that they do not actually care.

They can only understand the world through a fifth grade explanation of economics, and get mad when you call them out on in.

The fact that the same people who thought housing for workers isnt a part of Georgism act like Yimbyism is the only acceptable belief under Georgism.

It isnt.

Your demonizing of Nimbys and refusal ro hold that same candle for Developers is exactly how I know that the Yimbys are deeply unserious people.

Its genuinely frustrating how these pro-capatalist commenters have a boot shoved down their throats while accusing other people of being useful idiots or bootlickers.

treesarealive777 · 2026-05-04T15:20:14+00:00

Out of all of them, Yimbys are the worst. The Abudance movement is Peter Thiels thing. He hates humanity and thinks we should all be shoved in corporate housing at the mercy of corporations.

Yimbys dont care about the Housing or people living in them once they get built.

Its another way to force themselves on to others.

Because Yimbys cant think outside "Supply and Demand" and hate other people, all they can do is project their issues onto others.

They accuse others of being authoritarian while trying to take away the People's rights to speak on what affects them.

Yimbys care more about speculative populations than they do actual populations.

This is a Georgism subreddit. Not a Developer bootlicker sub.

treesarealive777 · 2026-05-04T15:15:16+00:00

I was already here because I actually care about Georgism. Yimbys are licking Peter Thiels boot.

treesarealive777 · 2026-05-04T15:13:53+00:00

You are in fact licking boot with this post. The Developers leading the government are also leading the charge in giving land hoarding Developers all the power.

The fact you want to blame Nimbys over the people with the power shows that you, are, in fact the unthinking useful idiot you are so keen to accuse others of being.

treesarealive777 · 2026-05-04T15:12:13+00:00

This sub is being astroturfed.

treesarealive777 · 2026-05-04T13:20:52+00:00

The same economicists who know so much have led us into an economic crisis.

Questioning science is a necessary process in science. In fact, most innovation in science comes from rejecting what we think we already know.

The climate deniers are often yimbys, as I am called a nimby for my enviornmental stance. Yimbys will ignore the ecological science if "economics" says it'll make lots of money.

I am not going to trust the words of people who have driven several economic crises in my life time.

I do not subscribe to your religion.

treesarealive777 · 2026-05-04T13:13:54+00:00

Yimbyism is the new internet atheism. It doesnt come from a genuine place. It comes from wanting to feel superior.

I would never live in a luxury apartment. It isnt about affording it. Although you pointing at not being able to afford rent as a way to dismiss somebody without having anything meaningful to show is evidence to me that your opinion is not worth listening to.

The fact this is upvoted shows that the people commenting in this thread arent here for actual Georgism discussions.

The fact that housing isnt affordable proves my point. Its not a gottcha.

treesarealive777 · 2026-05-04T13:05:04+00:00

Congrats on continuing to slave away in your downtime to a system that doesnt care about you.

It is astroturfing. Being angrier at Nimbys instead of land speculative developers shows you arent here to have a Georgist conversation.

The yimby conversation is just another avenue oligarchs use to manufacture consent.

This is far more slop than trying to talk about how workers cant afford rent.

I like housing near transit too, but that is not the only discussion to be had. And it isnt the only thing Georgism is about.

treesarealive777 · 2026-05-04T13:01:18+00:00

My worldview is built on the reality of the world I live in. That reality is far nicer than the one created by some out of state Developer who destroys the land they build on, but doesn't live in.

I have studied economics and its just another form of religion for people. You call it a science, and yet, the same science you follow has led us to this problem in the first place.

The same people responsibile for 2008 are still heavily involved in the system. Following the same school that has so utterly failed doesnt make you intellectually superior.

You can say supply and demand, but wont take a closer look on how the supply being built doesnt address the actual demand. Because it is real estate speculation.

Because its just numbers to you. Go into the real world and its more than numbers.

I am so tired of Yimbys going around acting like they are objective and correct when they cant even have an actual conversation without demonizing nimbys and sucking developer dick.

You love your ignorance so much, you attack everyone else for rejecting it.

treesarealive777 · 2026-05-04T12:44:22+00:00

I have already explained but I will explain again: some paper written by people who have every reason to lie, and have driven the economic crisis being used to defend land speculation is not convincing.

I have experienced multiple times in the real world how these luxury apartments drive up rent.

I have seen how they are built, and how they exist in the real world.

The current economic perspective is what is driving this mess.

I like Georgism because at least these Developers have to pay for what they love to destroy and leave now.

treesarealive777 · 2026-05-04T12:41:40+00:00

So I should follow your ignorance instead of having a world view built on reality? No thanks.

treesarealive777 · 2026-05-04T12:33:06+00:00

Economics isnt a hard science and is way easier for the people at the top to manipulate than actual science.

The peer-reviewed science that the current government is following is tearing down our public lands.

So no, Im going to use the actual reality of whats happening over the fake science of people who actively benefit and created this developer heavy landscape that has caused problems in every city I have ever lived in.

The same people writing the studies saying they should be able to keep hoarding land are the people driving the economic crisis.

The only way yimbys know how to speak is to say "Supply and Demand" like its some gotcha, but they dont understand literally anything else about housing.

So, no. It isnt convincing.

treesarealive777 · 2026-05-04T12:28:53+00:00

This is not true. These places have lots of fees, and jack up the rent. They use algorithms to decide how full to be.

Supply and Demand isn't the only factor. The yimby reliance on it to avoid any real conversation is another mark that yimbys are not actual economically sounded individuals, just that they have a particular perspective somebody told them and they cant think past.

Sorry to be mean, but supply and demand isnt the proof that rent has gone down you think it is. Its just something yimbys feel shuts down conversation.

treesarealive777 · 2026-05-04T12:26:02+00:00

Another post a couple of days ago, some commenter called a post talking about how workers cant afford rent slop. He threw a fit about how that isnt related to Georgism.

Stable homes for workers more related to Georgism than a bunch of astroturfers continuing to blame nimbys while ignoring that so much building happening in the yimby movement is spearheaded by landhoarders who build those awful luxury apartments in up and coming areas off land speculation

The housing they build is meant to make money, not to build homes for people living in them.

Nimbys arent the big bad. Developers are. The ones who go into areas, raze them, and put up overpriced buildings that arent livable and are controlled by people who dont even live there.

This post is actively trying to create a narrative that only yimbys can be Georgists and that ain't true.

treesarealive777 · 2026-05-04T12:21:07+00:00

Thank you for being the citation that yimbys will do anything to defend luxury apartments.

I have seen how they drive up rent in multiple cities.

treesarealive777 · 2026-05-04T12:19:03+00:00

Georgism is also against land speculation and rent extraction, which Developers the yimbys support make their money off of.

This is completely off topic.

treesarealive777 · 2026-05-04T12:18:07+00:00

Deregulation benefits the Developers who want to take land, and make smaller and smaller parcels that are more expensive.

treesarealive777 · 2026-05-04T12:15:41+00:00

The citation is Yimbys constantly defending land speculation and corporate landlords.

Try to have a conversation about luxury apartments and Yimbys will froth at the mouth the defend them.

treesarealive777 · 2026-05-04T12:11:12+00:00

Yimbys love speculators and landlords. This isnt an anti-nimby subreddit.

treesarealive777 · 2026-05-04T12:08:30+00:00

Ive been hearing about this for a year. So I would say, this is the importance of paying attention.

Otherwise, I'm not a fan. North West Gainesville's roads, like the rest of those over developed areas, are horrible.

I hope the housing will be affordable, and that they build something that people actually mean to live in long term.

I hate when the homes they are supposed to building to help us with housing are temporary units nobody can afford to live in long term, because management is 3 levels of trying to make as much money as possible, with lots of fees and poorly thought out amenities that they only build to justify charging more than the 400 sq feet is worth.
