Brainstorming…

What if there is a tax incentive/differential to agree to be in an YINBY area? For example 1.5% in NIMBY, and 1% in YIMBY? Let people elect their choice, AND pay for it.

The early part of this post seems to ignore that NIMBY literally means “not in my backyard”. Why would anyone be clamouring for more housing or more infill development in their own backyard? It’s in the name.

The problems is of course that everyone sees the problem, they just want the solution to occur elsewhere (or add in your other pet causes like X% social housing or government built or Y% of tenants are refugees, or what have you)
