      Calling themselves yimbys, they are standing up to say “Yes, in my back yard” to any kind of new housing development. [] “Often the only voices we would hear would be neighbours who were opposed,” said Chiu, who called on yimby support to get affordable housing measures through the legislature this year. [] It also riles opponents of gentrification that yimbys often lobby on projects far from their home turf.
