Or you could let the people who live in a given place have a vote as to whether they are OK with new housing.

And if the local residents don't want a new housing development because it negatively impacts their home value, then maybe someone will find a way to make it worth their while (i.e. real-estate developer grants current residents a stake in the returns of the new development if they stay for 5 years after the new housing is constructed).

This is the local equivalent of Trump-style “close the borders and build a wall” anti-immigration rhetoric.
