Line 11:
Some NIMBY slogans include: "Gentrification is colonization," "No demolition. No displacement," and "Stop evictions."
NIMBY fears ignore the fact that many YIMBY activists are pushing for rezoning that would allow for new forms of housing built onto or around existing housing. For example, Portland, Oregon's Residential Infill Project, a committee of residents, builders, city planners and low-income housing experts researching changes to regulations on height and scale requirements for new homes, increased density as well as an easement to limits on demolitions.
Portlanders are also exploring duplex and triplex [[Co-housing|co-housing]], [[Accessory_dwelling|accessory dwelling]] units, building around natural features like trees and converting large single household dwellings into apartments. These strategies run counter to NIMBY fears about the development of new high-rise condo buildings.
