Housing Reform Needs Real Alternatives

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

55% : I've spoken at conservative events and received a standing ovation for my comments about the free market only to be asked afterward by an attendee, "great speech but why don't they require more parking in these new developments?"
53% : A post at Substack on the "Left Nimby Canon," by Noah Smith, does a great job of drawing the political and ideological distinctions between YIMBYs and NIMBYs, but in doing so, makes it obvious that YIMBYs truly are another kind of liberal, favoring government intervention, and most importantly, wanting policy to achieve a set and politically ideological accepted outcome.
53% : And this is key, because free market thinking by definition does not demand a set outcome, but opportunity.
51% : So I agree absolutely with the posts conclusion:"As I see it, the disagreement between YIMBYs and Left-NIMBYs isn't really about free markets vs. socialism -- they're all a bunch of lefties.
