>>1703349>If people want it, it will happen.Developers will ram whatever project they want through if they have enough money (and the market conditions are right), and they don't pay attention to people actually want or not. The only time when developers are defeated is areas with a ton of well-moneyed resistance (like the "Ashby Tower" project in Houston) and even then, it's "what the people want". The YIMBY/NIMBY dichotomy depends on what project it is, opposing a light rail project in the area makes you some sort of mass transit-hating villain, while opposing a freeway widening project in the area is "grassroots opposition".
