MAGA YIMBY is not your grandfathers conservatism. In fact, we’re here to clean up the mess they made.

Those geniuses in the UK imported a hoard of new immigrants and built zero new homes.
…and they wander why people are marching in the streets.

Over the last three years, housebuilding in London has collapsed. Molior recorded just 2,158 private starts in the first half of 2025, around 5% of London’s (low) targets, and still falling. What is going on? I have posed this question to numerous specialists, most of whom cannot comment publicly for professional reasons. This thread is a summary of what I have gleaned.

We used to have a way to deal with people like this who were mentally unable to stand trial, let alone exist in our society. Now we just let them go over and over again, threatening our children and our community in perpetuity. MAKE ASYLUMS GREAT AGAIN

Just because you live in the suburbs and are surrounded by other conservatives doesn’t mean that the zoning of that neighborhood is conservative by association. It is not.
Individual property rights are a fundamentally conservative value. Don’t forget it.

@aaron_renn YIMBY in general is heavily libertarian inflected. It's all about removing regulations so we can build more.
I feel like what you're describing in the OP is more left-urbanists than YIMBY.

@MAGA_YIMBY Right YIMBYism is heavily libertarian inflected.
English
Left YIMBYism is two basic things: 1) a repackaged version of the same old leftist antipathy to "suburban sprawl." 2) an attempt to undermine the social base of the right (families in single family neighborhoods).

This kind of smart, walkable, mixed-use urbanism is illegal to build in most American towns and cities

Imagine if every new suburb was built like this instead of the soulless slop that we get today.

Why did we stop building cities like this?

Do you think YIMBY broken into conservative circles? What is YIMBY?
YIMBYLAND@YIMBYLAND
It’s really hard to argue that “YIMBY has yet to break into conservative circles” when literally as we speak, there is a republican-led effort to make it easier to build more housing in Texas. Dan Patrick made YIMBY an explicit priority at the state house this session.

No other city is densifying at the rate that Austin is right now. This is what reurbanizing America looks like! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

AUSTIN OFFICIALLY LEGALIZES 5-STORY SINGLE-STAIR APARTMENTS WITH A 10-1 VOTE!!! 🏗️🏬 This makes Austin the 2nd largest city outside of NYC to legalize single-stair apartments! Massive day for Austin and massive thanks to @CMChitoVela for taking the charge on this!

If our social norms aren’t effective at preventing anti-social behavior, then we should impose steep fines on the perpetrators instead.
I’m not against temporary suspension of transit use either.
