Lilah BurkeHOST
How much are you seeing real estate issues affect these local and state races?
Jerry SullivanGUEST
YIMBY, I think, is now morphing into abundance, right, which is a little bit more of a formal approach.
Jerry SullivanGUEST
And I think we're beginning to see it, and you're starting to see some loosening.
Jerry SullivanGUEST
In California, I think one of the effects is a lot of recent changes to allow more density in, you know, backyard ADUs.
Dustin GardinerGUEST
And Connie Chan, she's come at the issue from a totally different perspective.
Dustin GardinerGUEST
She's kind of more coming from the traditional view of progressives in San Francisco that have viewed the YIMBY movement as too closely aligned to developers.
Dustin GardinerGUEST
And the emphasis for her is, of course, she says that she also wants construction.
Dustin GardinerGUEST
but she wants neighborhoods to have a lot of input.
Dustin GardinerGUEST
And her focus really is a lot more on tenant protections and trying to lower the cost of rent.
Dustin GardinerGUEST
And so you have just two very different visions of how to deal with the housing crisis.
Dustin GardinerGUEST
One is really a supply-side, YIMBY-focused approach of building a lot more.
Dustin GardinerGUEST
And Wiener also champions tenant protections.
Gary McCoyGUEST
I'm proud to have support of labor to make sure that we're fighting for our labor workers in San Francisco.
Gary McCoyGUEST
I'm proud to have endorsements that range from Connie Chan to Matt Dorsey and from Alice to Milk and from Yimby to the San Francisco Tenants Union And that's because of the relationships that I have built and those coalitions that we've formed over the years, fighting for a lot of the challenges in San Francisco.
Gary McCoyGUEST
And so I look forward to making the biggest, most positive impact I can for the district and our residents and ask for your support.
Gary McCoyGUEST
Thank you.
speaker_5UNKNOWN
Maybe you could move in with me, because that's the answer to affordable housing.
speaker_5UNKNOWN
Not NIMBY, not in my backyard, but YIMBY, yes, in my backyard.

If you lived here, you'd be home by
Maria BamfordGUEST
now.
Sean KeyesGUEST
So...
Sean KeyesGUEST
The American and the Australian YIMBYs would say there are places where there is a quite, where land use regulation is very much a political matter and it's fought out in local meetings.
Sean KeyesGUEST
And it's very clear where the rules come from.
Sean KeyesGUEST
And those guys, those YIMBYs, the original YIMBY movements really would say there's no substitute for land.
Sean KeyesGUEST
getting a big gang of people and winning the argument and turning up at the meetings, lobbying the state senator and getting the rules changed the way they should be in a pro-social way.
Sean KeyesGUEST
So then that's one way of looking at it.
Emma CampGUEST
Right.
Emma CampGUEST
I love people who are very excited about this one thing, whether it's, you know, Yimby housing policy or energy or, you know, I had a bunch of friends who worked in the government and who were doing interesting things.
Emma CampGUEST
I had friends who worked at think tanks.
Emma CampGUEST
I had friends, you know, you find actually a pretty ideologically diverse group of people Um, because of all that's happening in DC and I really loved it.
Stephanie Watkins-CruzHOST
Jen is also the founder and board chair of City Builder, a grassroots pro-housing advocacy organization and local news outlet working to build a stronger coalition for more housing choices across the Triangle.
Stephanie Watkins-CruzHOST
She is also a part of the organizing team bringing YIMBY Town, the nation's, the nation's largest pro-housing conference, to North Carolina for the first time in twenty twenty-six.
Stephanie Watkins-CruzHOST
And I'm really excited to, um, also mention that she, uh, and City Builder are going to be one of our newest, uh, co-hosts for Housing Day twenty twenty-seven.
Stephanie Watkins-CruzHOST
Jen, welcome.
Stephanie Watkins-CruzHOST
So just in your words, uh, could you tell us a little bit about why you think, um, City Builder and North Carolina Housing Coalition's collaboration matters and, and what it does for the housing movement?
Jen TrumanGUEST
Yeah.
Jen TrumanGUEST
For us at City Builder, you know, we are a YIMBY organization, and we're hosting YIMBY Town, but we are really serious about, um, advocating for all kinds of housing and all kinds of housing policy.
Jen TrumanGUEST
Um, and we appreciate, um, the coalition's work at, in that same way at the state level.
Adam SerwerGUEST
and help them deal with it.
Adam SerwerGUEST
But, you know, like to some extent, there's like a sort of Yimby answer to this, which is that cities, you know, like it's sort of like how Mamdani is doing New York with these like soccer fields and stuff like that.
Adam SerwerGUEST
Like you should create places for people to be together in person so they can hang out and make friends and not just be a baseball card online, as you put it.
Chris HayesHOST
Yeah, and I think that's a huge part of it.
Derek OyangGUEST
And then they are the ones that are going to be further entrenched in bearing the risks of having to go under the radar with these unpermitted units.
Derek OyangGUEST
And so it's sort of, it got me over many years of having that experience myself and just recognizing that that was so under, you know, recognized in policy discourse at the kind of Yimby scale.
Derek OyangGUEST
And it's not to say that, I mean, you know, much of the Yimby movement is expressly trying to reduce these barriers.
Derek OyangGUEST
But if you continue to realize, you know, in our work, using a kind of computer vision model, like looking in San Jose, trying to estimate just how much unpermitted construction there is to finally get that number, it's just mind boggling.
Derek OyangGUEST
It was like for a four year period, 2016 to 2020, for every one official backyard unit that would have gone into the official state housing dashboard, we estimated three to four unpermitted detached units were also built.
Thomas DavidoffGUEST
And you call them NIMBYs.
Thomas DavidoffGUEST
I always like to think of myself as a YIMBY, and that's yes in my backyard as opposed to not in my backyard.
Thomas DavidoffGUEST
But if I reflect on it, I think I'm really more of a YEEBY, a yes in your backyard.
Thomas DavidoffGUEST
Because...
