> The solution is terrifyingly simple: don't allow existing residents to block new housing developments. If they don't like it, they can move.
I think that most jurisdictions already have the legal tools they need to put the public good in front of special interest groups, in the form of eminent domain laws.
It's just that the policial will is just not there.
My impression is that you don't need eminent domain takings for this, you just need higher level government (e.g., states) to set more rules around how restrictive local residential zoning is allowed to be.
