> The Builder’s Daily sounds like an anti-monopoly shop. But in our conversation, McManus sounded like a straight-up YIMBY.
This is a false dichotomy. His opponents are clearly claiming that oligopolies restrict supply. Therefore they are intending to be YIMBY even if they might be wrong about the cause of the restriction.
So this is a weird rhetorical attack that undermines the claims in the rest of the piece.
And now I think about it, it applies to the title too.
