Many local governments are very happy to build more housing: more housing = more residents = more local tax income.

The problem is everyone else who votes against rezoning.

  more housing = more residents = more local tax income

That's the formula San Jose followed for two generations and is exactly why it's less successful than its neighbors, who pursued industrial development plus "big box" retail (both of which provide a better local tax base). Sunnyvale, Mountain View, etc. used San Jose as a "bedroom community" and instead welcomed a more industrial base.
