My impression was that YIMBY’s want to solve one particular problem, which is that there are too many restrictions on building, and they rationally want that to be seen as a non-partisan issue. My understanding is that YIMBY’s on the left then hope that the changes in zoning allows for governments and non-profits/churches to do things like building affordable housing, in addition to allowing developers to provide new housing where the wealthy can dump their money (instead of on existing housing).
