@kingrat the solution isn’t to convince NIMBY’s, it’s to legislate by-right incremental development.
If you’ve got a single family home, you should be able to walk in and out of a permitting office in one day with a permit to build a duplex , triplex, or triple decker.
If you have a duplex/triplex, by right you should be able to build a 3-5 story apt building.
You have a 5 story building, by right you should be able to build a 10 story building.
No community input meetings needed.
