My sympathy for this point of view is extremely limited. If there is a giant vacant lot on the edge of the neighborhood, as there is in this case, building as much housing as you can on it is for the greater good and an absolute no brainer.

Amen! I get so frustrated when I read these stories about people living in urban neighborhoods (and suburban too for that matter) opposed to dense development. Then they complain about a lack of housing for others and about climate change which ironically is caused in no small part by non-dense development in the U.S.
