In August, more than 30,000 Democrats who support making it easier to build housing gathered online for a "YIMBYs For Harris" Zoom fundraising call. YIMBY stands for "yes in my backyard" — a political movement that supports addressing the housing crisis by easing zoning regulations and encouraging development. The Zoom call, scheduled shortly after Kamala Harris announced her ambitious housing agenda, featured dozens of pro-housing Democratic elected officials from across the country. Attendees jokingly referred to it as "YIMBYchella," a sort of policy wonk version of the California music festival.
