“If a low-income community or community of color doesn’t want a new market-rate housing project in their neighborhood — respect that. These communities (unlike wealthy, exclusionary ones) should have the final say in what gets built in their neighborhood.”

So, just so I understand, you’re a YIMBY but just not in your backyard, correct? I believe that is the definition of a NIMBY.

Look: if we are going to fight for more equitable housing, we’re going to need more housing in both wealthier neighborhoods and poorer neighborhoods. This sort of rank hypocrisy is counterproductive.
