As a gay and married YIMBY urbanist my biggest problem with Chuck Marohn is his strongly-held ideological commitment to local control over land use, no matter the cost. www.maxdubler.com/blog/2025/11...

Special thanks to those who gave their thoughtful feedback on this piece. The past couple of months have seen quite a bit of Discourse about the differences between Strong Towns and YIMB...
Like, I really think the onus is on urbanists to confront the fact that Strong Towns was founded and is lead by a guy who opposes marriage equality and no-fault divorce. As well as consider how this reactionary worldview shapes his perspective on cities, development, and political economy generally.
Urban Land Rent 🇸🇴🚰
Like they oppose abortion, marriage equality and even no fault divorce. It’s pretty extreme.
