You will be hearing A LOT about YIMBYs and YIMBY Action in this city election cycle as they endorse certain City Council candidates
During PFC’s citizen-initiated petition drive to overturn the ill-conceived Land Development Code 1.0 (City Council is planning a vote on the Land Development Code 2.0 on October 3rd), a group formed in Fort Collins calling themselves "YIMBYs". This ‘local’ group has always been clear that they are a part of and receive backing from “YIMBY Action", a national organization that has been exposed as Billionaire and Big Tech funded and faux-progressive. YIMBYs have swept through towns like Fort Collins promoting a pro-developer "Build, Baby Build" national agenda. But what does all this mean? Read this article about YIMBYs history as a national organization founded and organized out of California. While YIMBY Action has been called an "astroturf" organization, Preserve Fort Collins is truly a local, grassroots, nonpartisan group, started in Fort Collins in response to important issues that are impacting the people of our City.
You will be hearing A LOT about YIMBYs and YIMBY Action in this city election cycle as they endorse certain City Council candidates. Everyone in Fort Collins should know more about the national YIMBY organization, what they stand for and why their agenda is bad for our city and its people.
