Have you heard about the zucchini lady? This person brought a zucchini from her garden to her public comment, where she argued that a building should not be allowed next to her home because zucchini won’t grow in the shade 🥴
Imagine thinking a vegetable is more important than keeping people housed? Couldn’t be us. (By the way, gardening in the shade is definitely a thing. We Googled it.)
In true YIMBY fashion, we named an award after this icon. Because NIMBYs are really out there prioritizing a hobby over the basic human needs of others.
We need your help deciding who deserves the first annual Golden Zucchini Award! Nominate the NIMBY-est person (or city) you know by replying to this email, and come to That YIMBY Party on May 7th to vote for the winner! Ticket proceeds will go directly to shaming NIMBYs for having shoddy priorities and building more homes in opportunity-rich neighborhoods 🤭
