This eventually boils down to NIMBY vs YIMBY. Like that remote rural area of USA who thinks that immigrants are destroying their way of life the settled population of these large cities resist any progress because that might threaten their current state of life. It is a very hard problem without any obvious solutions. The only concern I have here is that few vocal groups will make the minority or less loud opinions seem non-existent. The best way to resolve this would be to have a fractal localism where the decisions are made closer to where the action is happening and by giving more importance to locals who actually are closer to the project location rather than being part of the larger city.
