Amen

I don't but we could create one for Friday before the event. Or we could do it Saturday. If you want to gather some friends and try to make it work, we can do it. Just let me know!

Honey

Yes! I'll be in the city all weekend. DM me and maybe we can figure something out!

Needs at least 250 parking spaces per arch

Here I come, you West Coast YIMBY losers!

April 17, San Francisco, Yimby Gala.

Sphere with face

My face should be on this Sphere to prevent more people from coming to Maryland.

If you're a housing developer, get ready for the SWARM (Stopping Whatever Allows Renters to Move in)

Why would I be outraged? I don't want those damn sidewalks near me

In conclusion, I give this book zero stars for being an inspiring, practical manual for civic engagement and therefore deeply harmful to my preferred style of governance: grumbling loudly enough that everyone else gives up.

And since the title insists “you’ve got to fight,” consider this your official notice: Nimbee challenges you to a fight. Not a metaphorical policy fight - an actual, physical duel in the Whole Foods parking lot, preferably near the EV chargers where nobody parks anyway. You pick the weapon.

The book is basically a step-by-step guide to preventing me from getting my way. It encourages showing up, organizing, and - most offensively - winning. Carter, sweetie, the only thing I want winning is my 1987 Volvo criusing through streets you YIMBYs made worse with your “road diets.”

Lavin claims that “ordinary residents can drive change,” which is rich coming from someone who has clearly never tried to stop a bike lane in Takoma Park using nothing but a shaking printout of crash statistics and a deeply personal anecdote about “community character.”

I only read "If You Want to Win, You’ve Got to Fight" because I assumed it was about losing zoning battles. But no. It's a relentless pep talk urging normal people to get involved instead of letting well-seasoned obstructionists such as myself maintain our sacred monopoly on public-comment time.

If You Want to Win, You've Got to Fight

I regret to inform the community that @carterlavin.bsky.social has written a book, and worse, it’s about “effective transportation advocacy,” which is YIMBY code for “let’s make buses go faster so people actually use them.”

More than 150 turn out to discuss University Boulevard Corridor Plan County Executive Marc Elrich spoke against the plan at the hearing and was interrupted by Nimbee seconds into his testimony.

Why did they kick me out for agreeing with Marc Elrich?

Corridors? More like Bore-idors.

I miss my parking

Hey look, it’s @thenimbee.bsky.social coming to make sure there’s no more building on University Ave. 1/2

Met my hero today!!
Queen Bee, Marc Elrich!

Now THIS is art!

Marc Elrich and Nimbee caught on the Coldplay kiss Cam

I want the whole world to know.

Takoma Park needed to be warned! Happy 4th!

NO QUEENS!

Opponents of new housing in Santa Monica float idea of keeping airport instead A campaign to build housing on the site of the soon-to-be-shuttered airport is drawing pushback from opponents of new development.

But where will we park our private jets?

Loving the energy on the @abundanthousingmi.bsky.social board and its dreams for Michigan’s future. Thanks @thenimbee.bsky.social for sending goodies in time for our reception!

I am community.

Takoma Park theme park coming soon...

D.C. needs housing. Why has it taken 25 years to build on this parking lot? Neighborhood opposition has stalled plans to build homes on a Metro parking lot in Takoma, echoing problems in other communities where density is a concern.

HOLD THE LINE

Nonsense

I don't know what any of this means, but I hear this guy is angry about a new sidewalk in front of his house, so I tend to agree with all of it.
