Book SynopsisTrade Review"
Yes to the City: Millennials and the Fight for Affordable Housing focuses on the fascinating conflict between Yimbys and some more-progressive groups, including old-line environmentalists and community activists. . . . You don’t need to agree with all of Mr. Holleran’s policy perspectives to appreciate his keen grasp of the progressive forces aligned against the Yimby fight for affordable housing."
---Edward Glaeser, Wall Street Journal"A compelling account of outcomes and consequences of activism. . . . Holleran’s analysis of how past activist struggles and successes laid out a foundation for future complications and new controversies is likely to provoke lively class discussions in courses on urban sociology and social movements."
---Anna Zhelnina, Social Forces"Compelling narrative and accessible writing. . . . An important contribution because it describes the origin of this influential and growing global housing movement."
---Gregg Colburn, Journal of the American Planning Association"The most authoritative study of the rise of YIMBYism and its spread throughout the United States and beyond."
---Alistair Sisson, The Conversation"[A] well-documented discussion of the growing YIMBY movement and the issues that arise when it attempts to make an impact on local housing policy."
---Jan Rouwendal, Journal of Housing and the Built Environment
