Proposing to keep the basic shape of a #YIMBY 2026 platform as the 2024 platform:

* No new motorways, or widenings of existing ones
* Ban car parking minimums
* Barcelona blocks & 15k ppl / km² as minimum zoning
* All areas mixed use
* Copenhagen street design
* E-bikes included in all new build housing
* Step-free transit stations
* Parks for all
* Renewable energy
* Build more housing
* and most of all:
Fuck
Fascism
Forever

yay/nay?

The reform agenda is not mysterious:
• Tax land value, not buildings or labor
• Build social housing at permanent scale
• Zone for density and mixed use
• Invest in transit (which creates affordable land)
• Stop treating rising home prices as prosperity indicators

Knowledge is not the obstacle. Power is.

What works — we actually know:

→ Vienna: 60% of residents in publicly subsidized, well-managed housing.
Still working after 100 years.
→ Tokyo: central government land use authority + liberal upzoning. Relatively
affordable by global city standards.
→ Minneapolis: abolished single-family zoning citywide (2018). Supply rose.
