Here's an idea: those who are truly on Team YIMBY can help solve the problem simply by sharing their houses or apartments with random newcomers.

But of course no YIMBY will do that.

And that's because the "M" doesn't really stand for "my". YIMBYs want OTHER PEOPLE to give up stuff they have, never ever themselves.
