Even worse, our housing policy is corrosive to the fundamental social contract. When I was young, I was taught that if you worked hard and kept your head down, you could have a comfortable life. You may not be Bill Gates, but you could have a successful middle class existence.

NIMBYs dominate both sides of the political spectrum, especially among older people. It will take younger people getting involved in the YIMBY movement to effect change.
