Placement of List of North American YIMBY organizations[edit]

I think that these would fit better under the "Regional" header. Perhaps a reorder to go:

Regional YIMBY Movements
- North America
 - Canada
 - United States
 - List of North American YIMBY Organisations
- Europe
 - Slovakia
 - Sweden
 - United Kingdom

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

In the next couple weeks, I will be revising and editing this article for an energy and sustainability course project. I would appreciate any feedback on my proposed edits, which I will be working on in my user sandbox. So far, my planned changes to the article include:

A greater emphasis on the connections between the YIMBY movement and other political movements, especially in the context of climate change and the environment

Adding to the "academic research" section with updated research and data of what's happening in cities undergoing upzoning transitions
Expanding the amount of information about opposing groups' viewpoints to fully frame the issue

Thanks!

Funding of YIMBY organizations[edit]

The article lacks information about funding sources of "YIMBY" groups (referred to therein as "movements", which is undefined). For example, "California Yimby", a 501(c)4 non-profit organization, does not and will not disclose the sources of its combined receipts ($8,800,199) or assets ($12,284,638, both as of 2021); the required disclosure form lists donors only as "RESTRICTED". There is also no disclosure of how this money is spent. (Source: IRS990 form, CA Atty General website.) This is hardly a grass-roots volunteer "movement" (director Brian Hanlon was paid $270,000 in 2021); rather, it is a professional lobbying corporation, presumably funded by tech, RE development, and trade union interests (though this information cannot be confirmed because it is kept secret). The dichotomy offered in the article--"YIMBY" versus "NIMBY"--is false unless there are organized professional corporations equivalent to "California Yimby" funding some sort of "Nimby" activities. Please provide more documentation. 2600:1700:DAA0:8490:3DFC:9475:83CE:7BC1 (talk) 18:50, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reading documents like their disclosure form yourself and interpreting them is WP:OR. Would need a citation to a reliable source such as a newspaper article to talk about this in the article. –Novem Linguae (talk) 00:01, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Understood, thank you. 107.202.145.117 (talk) 05:31, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
