Season 4 episode 8: Easing the Housing Crisis By Saying Yes, in My Backyard with Melissa Bowman

You’ve heard of NIMBYs and NIMBYism, and you probably are living with the consequences of neighbourhood planning or city policies influenced by landowners who say “Not in My Backyard” to new developments planned in their area. But what about YIMBYs? The name might be strange, but the homeowners who make up these groups say “Yes In My Backyard” to normalize the goals of affordable housing advocates, transit planning, tenants’ rights organizations and others who are working towards making the city a more liveable place to be for everyone.

Today on the podcast, Ariel talks to Melissa Bowman, cofounder of the group Waterloo Region Yes In My Backyard (WRYIMBY) about what a YIMBY group is, what some actions are that it might take, the issues that it might address, and how to start up a YIMBY group in your area, if there’s not one already!

The #YesInMyBackyard (#YIMBY) Act is a bipartisan bill aimed at increasing home construction. The bill identifies better #zoning reducing the number of unnecessary hearings, and faster permitting as some of the necessary strategies to end the housing shortage and achieve homes for all. The legislation also encourages cities and towns to eliminate discriminatory land use policies and remove barriers that prevent much-needed homes from being built around the country.

Tell #Congress that housing can’t wait. Tell them to bring the #YIMBYAct to a vote!

Tell your representative: Bring the YIMBY Act to a vote!

As of 2023, the United States underproduced housing by at least 3.9 million homes, driving up prices and pushing people out of their neighborhoods. Tens of millions of Americans struggle to keep a roof over their heads due to these extreme prices. Policies like exclusionary zoning and other restrictions have artificially prevented us from building enough homes for everyone in the US. The impacts of these policies only become more urgent as more and more people fall into homelessness and housing insecurity. The Yes In My Backyard (YIMBY) Act is a bipartisan bill aimed at increasing home construction. The bill identifies better zoning, reducing the number of unnecessary hearings, and faster permitting as some of the necessary strategies to end the housing shortage and achieve homes for all. The legislation also encourages cities and towns to eliminate discriminatory land use policies and remove barriers that prevent much-needed homes from being built around the country. Housing alone is the cause of one-third of the market basket for inflation. Passing the YIMBY Act would unlock millions of homes across the country by incentivizing cities and towns to reform their zoning laws and invest in the construction of homes at all income levels. Tell Congress that housing can’t wait. Tell them to bring the YIMBY Act to a vote!
