eh, I dont think nimby's are as much a problem outside of the biggest-most organized cities.
our democratic participation is so shit across the board (especially at the local level) all it would take is a decently coordinated ad-campaign to sweep in whatever local government reforms you could want
the bigger issue (imo) is finding someone with the capital/connections required to get big projects like high-density housing started, who isnt also just another rich piece of shit
I got this idea for a co-op high-density construction company i'm currently fighting like hell for the seed-capital to get started. siphoning all i can off this everything-bubble while it's lasts, not too proud of that but it's the only way someone in my position can get the capital required
