When they go low (density) we go high (density).
Given we want the same thing — more affordable housing where people want to live — it seems that Guy Rundle’s beef with the YIMBY movement is more or less aesthetic, says YIMBY lead organiser

I am firmly of the belief that these cars should be taxed out of existence. They are comprised almost entirely of health, safety, and environmental externalities, and the trays are not larger than the average Toyota.
They are useful for one thing only: dick-size compensation.
The huge ute situation feels like we're the frog in water slowly coming to the boil. The size of these vehicles is genuinely shocking.

With every new story, it becomes more and more difficult to remain polite about heritage consultants.
This is a tiny cottage industry of people who have built and exploited policies to impose their obscure tastes on society, and systematically ruin the lives of regular people.
Maroondah may have "an obligation to conserve important buildings"—but these buildings are not important.
These are families' homes with no historical value. They are of interest only to heritage consultants, a tyrannical minority granted the outsized power to ruin lives.

Even beyond all the other problems with citing Vienna as a viable housing model for Australian cities, it’s worth noting that it’s literally illegal to build medium-density housing like this in the lion’s share of our cities.
The vast majority of their buildings (like this social housing complex) are medium density (about 5 storeys), which ensures a connection to the street, while densifying in a sustainable way.

Planning academics do not live in the real world: they see planning as an intellectual (and increasingly literary/hypothetical) exercise. In the real world, people need homes.
But they are much more interested in subjective outcomes that matter only in the literature.

As tongue in cheek as this may sound, it points seriously to the root of the YIMBY movement.
When an apartment building application is rejected due to overshadowing a single yard, homes for dozens of people have just been denied.
How should "housing is a human right" be implemented?
Presumably, planning restrictions that prevent housing are a denial of human rights which should be prosecuted?

Our Housing Targets report is out today, and once again the YIMBY Melbourne team has outdone themselves.
Our demand-based model shows where new housing is most needed and most wanted.
Our housing targets will keep Councils accountable to ensuring those homes get built.
Today, we release our brand new report: Missing Middle Housing Targets.
Our policy gives Councils a clear choice: let more homes get built and get paid, or refuse to do your part and get penalised.
To end our housing crisis, that's the kind of accountability we need.

If you care about heritage more than anything else, you will quickly work yourself into a miasma of bad opinions.
Heritage has to be measured against its tradeoffs—but many heritage activists fear this, because they know it means the bulk of their grift will fall apart.
Today SMH is covering Haberfield, the inner suburb full of 800sqm houses which can never change.
We’ve got a bunch of quotes in it but we’re upstaged by one that goes straight to the NIMBY hall of fame.

Good heritage policy should create sites for meaningful civic engagement.
Right now, though, the majority of heritage policy is concerned with regulating private homes to preserve some arbitrary set of curiosities that very few people (including the owner) actually care about.
Governments should just buy heritage houses like this. What is the point of having these rules for a private house that the public will never see? Make it a museum if it is that important.

Let’s start with the most insane statement of the night:

This despite Dan McKenna from Nightingale Housing telling him that it is. Two problems here...
Very illuminating that the guy who actually builds award winning not-for-profit housing is telling us his biggest problem is planning laws while the politician who says he wants more of that housing says it’s something else.

When councils use the same arguments against granny flats—the most low-impact housing there is—that they do against missing middle densification, it’s a key sign that their arguments should not be taken in good faith.

Within

This is because we all know we need more homes where people want to live.
What is the risk that YIMBYism becomes left or right coded—and which is more likely?

Article 22 of the Burra Charter forbids extending a heritage building in the original style.
This is why heritage building additions are glass-dominated, ‘contemporary’, and set back 4-8m.

These sorts of knockdown-rebuilds happen because no one can build apartments across most of our inner-cities.
Our system of overwhelming restriction creates bad outcomes. We need a more permissive planning system, absent of perverse incentives that can lead to reduced supply.
A good example of why outsourcing the solutions to the housing crisis to property developers will fail. Under Labor's "Housing Accord" this would count as "supply" - but in reality it means low income residents shoved out, higher rents and more expensive housing.

This is not a hot take. It is the correct take.
My hot take in today's
@crikey_news
– migration is good. We should keep facilitating a lot of it. Without it, our nation will be poorer, less equitable and more boring.

The fact that we have a political consensus on the need for supply-side reform is huge.
This is in no small part due to the work over the past years by
@GreaterCanberra
, in whose footsteps
@yimbymelbourne
and
@SydneyYIMBY
follow.

If you're going to lie about us, at least try to be convincing: it is in fact much easier to turn profit on a commercial build.

Many, many housing academics are engaged in a fundamentally literary exercise and have no interest in figuring out what kind of policies work to actually house people.

I’m so proud of how well the YIMBY movement comes across here.
Months of work behind the scenes to create a clear, cross-partisan message: build more homes where people want to live. Create housing abundance now.

The piece is fantastic, and really lays out what we’re fighting for, and why housing abundance is a fight everyone can get behind.

What about his insistance that the wellbeing of immigrants is irrelevant to migration policy?

If the NIMBYs better-spent their money, imagine what they could achieve.

I take seriously that people take him seriously. I take it seriously when a serial contrarian with demonstrably bad instincts is given legitimacy by organisations like
@percapita
,
@Greens
, and
@RMIT
@RMIT_CUR
as though he's not just a crank with a blog.
