Sounds like the author said this is indexed somewhat to California so thought I'd chime in. Your pessimism is legit, but some of the major ones are either already done or are in process in California and/or the city of Los Angeles in particular, which, although not the nimby capital of California, is pretty terrible as far as anti-change sentiment is concerned. Numbers 1, 3, 5, 8, and (sort of) 11 are either already done or are likely to happen. And those are some of the most meaningful ones on the list because importantly they a) don't require government funds to execute b) decrease the cost to build. Best way to make places beautiful and walkable is to put more people in them because then the demand and funds become available for some of the items that require material funding.
