Chicago is fairly pro-development, but aldermen often appease NIMBYs by chopping the height of proposals or make otherwise anti-urban changes. In times where interest rates are making it harder to build, every little bit matters and the density that we usually chop off to appease NIMBYs is too valuable to lose.

Why appease NIMBYs in the first place? Can they actually do anything?
