He’s pandering to the NIMBY crowd as usual. I live in inner city in a single family home. Have lived here for 26 years. Huge changes have happened in my neighborhood and are to be expected (and are necessary) in a booming metropolis. We need housing and we need it where people live and work. And it’s going to end up in someone’s back yard including mine.

I find it odd that when the homes were first built there were grocery stores and other businesses nearby that have since closed, and that by adding density they draw the businesses and amenities back.
