The existing people living there in their $1 million plus homes don't want to live next to a bunch of high density residential. They want a small, quiet community that doesn't have traffic problems. Obviously this sucks for everyone else that wants to live there, but I am not sure "build high density residential" is such a clear-cut correct solution. Do people in a city have the right to not want to encourage further population growth? My hunch is that they do, but maybe there's an argument that could persuade me otherwise. Also, there's a bus line that does down the exact street you linked, and has many stops.
