I used to think most of NIMBY was shallow. Then my city tried to approve four simultaneous development projects in one city block near me. The projects had tower heights of more than double the zoning. The traffic studies ignored all other development in the area and assumed a much higher use of public transit then is reasonable for an area poorly served by public transit. There were numerous other issues. I think many people (including myself) are not opposed to all development and see the need to build condos even in our own areas. We just see the shit we are expected to swallow from developers and want them to do far better.
