The YIMBY Movement and Housing Regulations

The chapter discusses the origins and growth of the YIMBY (Yes In My Backyard) movement on the West Coast, advocating for zoning and statewide reforms to address housing issues. It explores the differences in approach between YIMBY advocates in the West Coast and South, as well as the challenges faced by red states like North Carolina and Missouri in responding to varying growth rates and legislative needs. The conversation also touches on the importance of New Urbanism, reimagining zoning laws, and potential collaborations to revolutionize the construction industry for smaller homes.
