Yes, it's always inconvenient and disillusioning when people refuse to live where "urban planners" think they should live.

That would make sense if urban planners were the ones telling people not to live near transit stations, but it's generally existing residents opposing new housing.

Though, perhaps to your point, I also am not a fan of almost all planning. The nicest places to live, walk, etc. tend to be ones that arose before planning was widespread. Of course, they existed before the car, too.

Demand for Metro-convenient housing is enormous. Builders are having trouble keeping up.
