> Nobody has ever said "I don't want denser housing to be built anywhere" Conversely, plenty of people say "I don't want single family housing to be built anywhere" And they can kiss my ass. > If your neighbor wants to convert their house into a duplex, and two families want to live there, why should you be able to stop them? This is such a strawman. No one is protesting duplexes. People protest against developers buying up a dozen lots and building 100 condos on the space. My neighbour going from 1 family to 2 isn't likely to affect me at all. My neighbourhood going from 12 houses to 2 condo buildings absolutely will affect me. It will completely change the nature of my surroundings in a negative (to me) manner.
