I think "BOMB CONDOS NOT MURALS" is being presented as a "Left-NIMBY" phrase, not a YIMBY phrase.

Or they are people who work at fast food joints that don't want to drive/bus to work because they can't afford the local area.

"programmers trying to save thousands in rent" are a small subset of the population.

GP must thinking about the Sf Bay area, where they are a decent % of the activists.

"BOMB" in this context is slang for graffiti tag, right?

I think it is indeed, to lower their market value.

Too bad condos can fix / clean it faster than a mural artist.

Vandals care more about keeping their name up than what’s under it.
