It may be that the only way to fight “not in my backyard” is to require, by law, “everyone’s backyard”. In other words, make every single neighborhood give something up so that no one can say they’re being singled out. One method might be to require a tax increase in every neighborhood that is nullified if that neighborhood does certain things (like allowing dense condos). The important thing would be to make it absolutely clear that a whole city/region is in the same boat, that certain actions will be taken on all areas and no one will be allowed to squirm out of them.
