In Episode 2 of this season of The Yarn, we dive into the grassroots movement transforming local housing politics with Jonathan O'Brien from Yes in My Backyard (YIMBY) Melbourne. From successfully challenging heritage overlays to confronting restrictive zoning in Australia's most exclusive suburbs, discover how the YIMBY movement is introducing contestability into Council decisions. O'Brien shares insights on their three-pronged approach of local advocacy, digital infrastructure, and policy research, while explaining how the YIMBY movement has spread from San Francisco to Australia's major cities.

Join us as we explore the youth-led housing revolution with Jonathan O'Brien, a driving force behind Melbourne's YIMBY movement.
