Rural housing in the UK is hamstrung by this problem. On the one hand everyone complains that their kids have to move away because they can't afford to live in the village they grew up in, but if you suggest building more houses they kick up a stink. Then they complain that the village is dying because it's all rich people's second homes in the country.
While I have distain for a lot of politicians, at the same time I'm not sure anything would convince me to be one, it's a pretty thankless task full of no-win situations in which people will bitch and main no matter what you do.

I live in Bath, which despite being a world heritage site, is actually building quite a lot of new home, some in developments on the outskirts, and lots of infill on brownfield sites. Not a fan of some of the architecture, but glad to see more being built. Now if we ould just sort out the bus network...
