YIMBYTOWN ACTION, 2017

Posted on February 17, 2018October 24, 2025 by Mary

"No" to YIMBYs (Yes In My Backyard) & the YIMBYtown Conference --- NOT their backyard, NOT their town -- YIMBYs unite with developers, tech billionaires & the politicians in their pockets to push for building more luxury condos in SF, Oakland, and across the Bay Area. YIMBYs misuse the language and experiences of struggling poor, black and brown, immigrant and queer communities in the Bay to disguise the fact that their Build-Baby-Build agenda is the exact same one that has been driving gentrification and rising rents all over the area. These buildings are built over the victims of landlord arson and the homes and communities displaced and destroyed by the tech boom. YIMBYs and rich homeowners who oppose affordable housing are united in the same mission: making the Bay Area richer, whiter, hostile and inaccessible.
