I appreciated that the article brought this up become in HN discussion it is usually presented as a liberal idea, but that was never my experience before moving to California. It's incredibly easy to find anti-development movements and policies across the country. Look at public transit in red states, for instance. In somewhere like Georgia, denser housing, public transit, and walkable neighborhoods are the domain of the interior parts of Atlanta, inside the freeway loop. That area is FAR more liberal than the rest of the state. Texas (Austin, Dallas, etc), too.
