The problem is that rich Democrats don’t want more housing in their enclaves and don’t want to see their property values fall with more affordable housing available. So they show up to town halls and forums with NIMBY complaints about every new proposal.
It’s usually something about the potential traffic, and then environmental bullshit if that doesn’t work.

There is a growing consensus that the main cause of our housing shortage is zoning.
