    These YIMBY people go on and on about traffic deaths but never talk about the companies requiring a return to office that forces everyone to drive unnecessarily.

    During COVID and the work from home (WFH) mandate, traffic deaths fell off a cliff due in large part to people not driving to work.

    I’m not saying cars shouldn’t be smaller or cities walkable. I’m saying these people like YIMBYs are disingenuous about safety and the environment because a return to a WFH mandate would help immediately.

    YIMBYs are simply shills for greedy developers that want to gentrify inner cities.
