State law recently increased my neighborhood’s density. It’s obliging these towns to do the same. I’m happy about both, which makes me YIMBY like the people in this organization

Let’s remember, CA is in a housing CRISIS. I feel an immediate urgency to build as many houses as possible in this state so that my young children can feasibly afford to live here without being an AI engineer when they are adults

There is an abundance of houses in the US, just in less desirable areas than Rancho Palos Verdes.

Your young children have no right to live in any specific location, and your usage of CRISIS to describe a lack of access to highly desirable housing is not compelling.

  • but time and again the opportunity is created in places where there's not enough housing which enriches the "landed gentry".

  • > Your young children have no right to live in any specific location

    Strawman. I have a right to influence housing policy with my vote, which I’ve done and I’m pleased with the outcome.

    Now, you nor any commenter nor any city official have the right to resist implementing this law, and the arguments against are not compelling.
