A critique of the Yimbi movement is that it is ultimately a gift to large developers. De-regulation allows them to build luxury housing for large profits, he says. An alternate path would be to advocate for regulated, affordable public housing,. "I don't care who makes the money," Rimmler says.

Welcome to the May 2023 Ask Me Anything episode of Mindscape! These monthly excursions are funded by Patreon supporters (who are also the ones asking the questions). We take questions asked by Patreons, whittle them down to a more manageable number — based primarily on whether I have anything interesting to say about them, not whether the questions themselves are good — and sometimes group them together if they are about a similar topic. Enjoy!
