How the YIMBYs won

​The housing crisis long felt ignored in British politics. A generation grew up and were unable to buy their own homes – and politicians didn't seem to care. Until one day... they did.

​Over the past few years, the YIMBY (Yes In My Back Yard) movement had captured the attention of Westminster – and it has successfully put housing affordability close to the centre of politics. Today, even the Prime Minister himself has aligned himself with the movement.

​So how did this remarkable movement do it? To find out, join James O'Malley and Anya Martin, housing campaigner and former director Priced Out, as they check in on housing progress under the new government, and try to figure out how the YIMBYs ended up winning the argument.
