The homeowners already have the greatest carrot of all: their homes. They could sell at any time for at least a million, move somewhere without crazy housing demand, and gorge themselves on steak and lobster for the rest of their days. Their entire ask is the desire to keep their neighborhood the same. The only way to give them that carrot and build more is to build humongous interconnected complexes underground which, besides being too expensive, is arguably unethical (lack of sunlight / fresh air).
