The provocative article by Truthout reporters by Toshio Meronek and Andrew Szeto would have been less sensational had it been cast as an opinion as opposed to a report.

Presumably the editors' received an earful from readers on the report, particularly it's title, as this note appears at the end of the lengthy piece:

Editor's note: This story's original headline, "YIMBYs: The 'Alt-Right' Darlings of the Real Estate Industry," has been amended upon further review to be more accurate and representative of the story's contents.

For the record, the Southern Poverty Law Center defines the "Alternative Right, commonly known as the Alt-Right, [as] a set of far-right ideologies, groups and individuals whose core belief is that 'white identity' is under attack by multicultural forces using 'political correctness' and 'social justice' to undermine white people and 'their' civilization...." The non-profit Media Matters for America defines it simply as "the white nationalist movement."

[The role of the alt-right in planning is described by Ohio State planning professor Jason Reece in this Planetizen feature, "Planning and the Alt Right in the Time of Trump."]

The target of the Truthout report is largely Sonja Trauss, founder of what Meronek and Szeto call the "pro-gentrification" SF Bay Area Renters' Federation, a YIMBY (Yes in My Back Yard) group profiled in The New York Times last year.
