John Sheridan reacted to this post about 1 year agoOverall, though, Holleran is sympathetic to the YIMBY view that “building nothing is not an option.” He points out that hyperlocalism can provide cover for “latent racism and an unwillingness to share space and resources with others.”
In San Francisco and Austin, planning controls and rising real estate prices have coincided with a rapid decline in the cities’ African-American population. Rather than “devolved decision-making” he would back the YIMBY call for city-, region- or even nationwide planning that de-emphasises the interests of individual homeowners and enables rational infrastructure and a fairer sharing of the costs and benefits of urban growth.Building nothing is not an option • Peter Mareshttps://insidestory.org.au/building-nothing-is-not-an-option/An urban sociologist probes the strengths and weaknesses of the “yes in my backyard” movementPost is under moderationStream item published successfully.
