Since the end of his three-term New York City mayoralty in 2013, Michael Bloomberg hasn’t shied away from public attention. Presidential ambitions and global climate policy advocacy have kept him busy. But what is shaping up to be one of the most ambitious projects of the 82-year-old billionaire’s public life is not happening on the highly visible stages of national and international politics. It is unfolding in the stereotypically humdrum halls of city government.

The New South Wales government is forging ahead with renewal of the state’s largest public housing estate. Developer Stockland and three community housing providers are contracted to deliver the first stage nearly a decade after it was announced. Some 749 homes are to be demolished and replaced with more than 3,000 new apartments. Following the Minns government’s changes in 2023, Waterloo South will comprise 30% social housing, 20% affordable housing and 50% market-rate housing.

2024 looks set to be another year of rising rents, stalling supply and intense debate over how to respond to the housing crisis. Occupying an increasingly prominent place in that debate is the YIMBY movement. Short for “Yes, In My Backyard”, YIMBY is a play on the well-known pejorative NIMBY, which has long been applied to residents opposed to change in their local area. Where did YIMBYism come from? Who are the YIMBYs? How are they reshaping the politics of housing in the 21st century?

Virtually every week brings news of rising rents or a story of still more renters forced out of their homes by unmanageable rent increases. The Australian Bureau of Statistics says rents climbed 6.6 per cent in the year to October. If you’re signing a new rent agreement the situation is worse, with landlords charging on average 8.6 per cent more than they did a year ago, and far more – about 15 per cent more than a year ago – in the hotpots of Sydney and Melbourne.
