What’s New
The living changelog of YIMBY+ — platform news, model releases, building-data changes and record merges.
New in YIMBY+
The New York timelapse now starts from the low-rise fabric that stood before today's buildings: thousands of generated infill blocks fill each lot from 1875 and step aside exactly when their real replacement arrives. They are scenery with a lifespan, not tracked buildings, so they never appear in counts, cards, or model updates.
Step back through whole releases of the 3D city and see which models were added or updated in each one, with before-and-after views of updated buildings.
A new panel in the 3D city lists what changed in each release: added and updated buildings with thumbnails, a before-and-after view for updated models, and a light-up mode that highlights the changes on the skyline. A New badge on the city toggle and a dot in the sidebar show when a release landed since your last visit.
A single place to follow changes across YIMBY+: new and updated project data, record merges and deep links to every project involved. Platform news like this entry lands here too, in a running product-updates log, so you always know what shipped.
