I don't think this an example of YIMBYism, as nothing new has been built, but it is an example of how destructive rent controls are.
The article cites two major reforms leading to the improvements, but both are mostly the result of the owner and the occupant being free to enter into whatever contract they wish with each other:
I agree. But we can call it rent yimbyism. Can we?
Sounds like you have some experience in this area lol
I mostly, somewhat comically but also genuinely, resent YIMBYism being a blanket term for housing reform. No one is really a YIMBY but that's why the term is so effective because it's a lie about self-sacrifice - we all viscerally oppose people building in our backyards, but not in other people's backyards so we bluff like this. Incentives-wise it's shaped a lot like "yes, tax me more uncle sam."
YIMBY is only a thing because our housing property rights are subject to politicization.
I need to brush up on my Spanish.
Americans, why is it called "not in MY back yard", when this is not your back yard, but someone else's property? 🤔
Yimbyism is good everywhere.
Millei is proving to be the leader who has answers for every problem!!
