Yimby

YIMBY encompasses home composting, "grass cycling" and landscape alteration.

Buildings that actually boost local land value are, therefore, called "YIMBY" or "Yes In My Back Yard." These beneficial neighbors include Police Stations, Schools, Parks, etc.

YIMBY does not promise to eliminate risk; it simply spreads it among all those involved. Yesterday, we reiterated several times that equity is critical to any solution, and in this regard YIMBY provides a practical and equitable standard

The concept of YIMBY, or "Yes-In-Many-Backyards," was introduced in the early 1980s in Southern California as a guiding principle to distribute unwanted hazardous waste facilities among all the counties participating in the Southern California Hazardous Waste Management Project (later transposed into a joint powers authority).

In the early 1980s in southern California, the concept of YIMBY (yes in many backyards) was introduced as a guiding principle for distributing unwanted hazardous waste facilities among all the counties participating in the Southern California Hazardous Waste Management Project, which later was restructured into a joint powers authority. The YIMBY philosophy asked each county to take responsibility for its fair share of the waste problem, though not necessarily to manage all of its own wastes.

The local YIMBYs came out in favor of the project.

Wltll respect to conserved lands, a reversal is occurring—NlMBY (not in my back yard) is being replaced by YIMBY (yes, in my back yard). I am one of thousands of YIMBYs who choose to live near Acadia National Park.

The city council decided not to consider the measure at that meeting, which the YIMBYs considered a victory.

Opponents paint YIMBYs as being in the pocket of real estate interests: naively helping rich developers at best, or outright shills at worst, with funding from tech millionaires.

YIMBYs also typically oppose the exclusionary nature of NIMBY campaigns that can lock out people of color and low incomes from certain neighborhoods.

From a YIMBY perspective, the high-rises are good for the city.

But some communities have found that a YIMBY attitude (Yes, in my back yard)— with proper quality assurance controls— can pay good dividends.

Responses to both the PCED and YIMBY surveys identified a need for a variety of mesures to lower the financial and other barriers to the wider consumer uptake of microgeneration systems.

YIMBY candidates for local Bay Area offices suffered defeat at the ballot box last November.

YIMBY political groups still have no blanket national organization.

YIMBY groups support denser development with more housing — especially affordable housing.

Encoded in YIMBY ideology is a belief that the best thing to do with NIMBYs is discard them.

Calling themselves yimbys, they are standing up to say “Yes, in my back yard” to any kind of new housing development. […] “Often the only voices we would hear would be neighbours who were opposed,” said Chiu, who called on yimby support to get affordable housing measures through the legislature this year. […] It also riles opponents of gentrification that yimbys often lobby on projects far from their home turf.
