I see your points and they do make sense. I agree about how nimbys use planning tools like zoning to stop much needed construction and to stop smart planning. I also agree that the nimbys are a minority that is very vocal (and represent themselves as being the majority - which the media and politicians all too often buy unquestioningly).
It all seems like a stop-gap measure that doesn't fix the underlying problem though. Planning ought to be predictable, democratic and based on what science tells us about how different planning choices affect a place and a city. Don't think I've seen any model that really does that tho. Yet.
