YIMBY, NIMBY, RIMBY. The name calling started when the City of San Diego (YIMBY, yes in my backyard) eliminated single family home zoning in an attempt to create affordable housing.
AB1287 (YIMBY) made it possible for developers to buy lots in residential neighborhoods and build ADU apartment complexes, 91-units on a residential street of historical homes and get plans quickly approved for massive apartment buildings in Pacific Beach and a 100+ year-old Mission Hills neighborhood. If this rapid and intense building makes you break out in a cold sweat, you could be a NIMBY, no in my backyard.
Now there's the grassroots effort by Neighbors For A Better California.org, to tell our mayor and governor, we need responsible zoning and planning to prevent overdevelopment (that ruins a person’s ability to enjoy the sanctuary of their home). If you like this, call yourself a RIMBY, responsible in my backyard. You want to preserve the charm of California communities.
