Yes to the city: millenials and the fight for affordable housing: by Max Holleran, New Jersey & Oxford, Princeton University Press, 2022, 197 pp., $27.95 USD (hardcover), ISBN 9780691200224.

Holleran writes that YIMBYs "borrow much from anti-gentrification housing movements, but they view their constituents as middle-class market rate renters; and they advocate for all new development, not just affordable housing for low-income people, a concept they call "build more of everything" (p. 6). While only a few explicitly oppose non-profit housing, the aim of the YIMBY game is to increase housing supply by lubricating the development process for the private sector. For this Holleran credits YIMBYs with "promoting a new framing within the housing debate: concentrating on supply-side mechanisms, working with (not against) developers, and emphasizing the rights of middle-class newcomers to wealthy cities" (p. 161).
