YIMBYISM THEN AND NOW

Robert W. Lake

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, 2022, vol. 46, issue 2, 331-335

Abstract: The upsurge in anti‐regulatory rhetoric known as YIMBYism has deep historical roots in laissez‐faire liberalism. Contemporary YIMBYism lacks empirical validation; embraces a categorical fallacy; embodies moral failure; exemplifies the arrogance of policy expertise; reveals the maturation of neoliberalism; and provides an object lesson in the dominance of power politics in the production of truth in the contemporary moment.
