"But Democrats know the surest way to bring housing costs down long-term is to build to boost supply. So the Administration is cutting red tape to help more builders get federal financing. A record 1.7 million new housing units are under construction today nationwide."
"It also creates a Housing Innovation Fund, to help state and local governments find new ways to increase supply, like by converting empty office or hotel space into apartments. The plan also encourages state and local efforts to take on barriers to building new housing. Democrats are dedicated to increasing the supply of an array of housing options like duplexes, triplexes, and townhomes that bridge the gap between single-family homes and large apartment buildings. By reducing barriers to building housing and providing federal tax incentives for the development of housing for people of all incomes, we can foster vibrant, inclusive communities where people from all walks of life can find affordable, diverse living options."
I think this should resolve yes
What does this mean to resolve true? For example in 2020 Democrats had already mentioned increasing the supply of housing along with some other promises. https://democrats.org/where-we-stand/party-platform/building-a-stronger-fairer-economy/

@wilsonkime When the democrats reveal their 2024 platform I will look for some key components of YIMBYism. First of all, if it mentions the words 'Yes In My Back Yard' or the acronym, that's a clear YES. But generally speaking, I'll be looking for two things: the presence of pro-building policies (repealing restrictive zoning, parking mandates, etc), and the absence of anti-building policies (increasing restrictive zoning, parking mandates, etc). YIMBY/NIMBY policies tend to be more state and local than federal, but the point is to see if platform sees increasing housing supply as an unambiguous good thing, and pro-building policy the way to get there.
@LarsDoucet What if they include inclusionary zoning, which is ostensibly YIMBY but actually NIMBY, or a mix of both kinds of policy you mention?
@Yoav It’s got to be unambiguously YIMBY. Now, a party platform is vague and even the most purely stated policy can be subverted by actual implementation, but since we’re just judging the platform we go on the text alone. So:
-Just calling for “more affordable housing” is not enough
-Calling for abolishing exclusionary zoning counts
-Calling for abolishing Parking mandates counts
-Ultimately it will be somewhat subjective

Will the Democrats embrace YIMBYism in their 2024 platform? https://manifold.markets/LarsDoucet/will-the-democrats-embrace-yimbyism?r=TGFyc0RvdWNldA
