Yeah, Lars isn't really the axe grindy type—I think the tone isn't meant to be negative here.

Thanks for replying! I liked the article overall. I guess I read into something that wasn't really there.

What does YIMBY have to do with valuing land? I was under the impression that N/YIMBY was about whether projects get done, not land valuation.

Land valuation is necessary to implement a land value tax (not to be confused with property tax) which is the main thing Georgists advocate for. Georgists and YIMBYs have an affinity for one another since land value tax disincentives speculation and incentivizes building.
