  > Second rule of housing discussions, nobody agrees on what is the "right" housing and what is the "right" location Specifically, in any given location, the people whose voices are considered agree that their location is not the right location.

    This is the common case, but even if you get two upzoning advocates to discuss someone else’s neighborhood, they STILL likely won’t agree on what kind of housing, often disagreeing about if the housing (or how much of it) should be market rate, whether removing existing green space is acceptable, what form of density should be allowed (eg towers vs midrise), whether there should be restrictions on style to match the existing neighborhood character, and so on
